Biography |
Robbin Yager (b. 1953 -) is a Canadian visual artist based in Mayne Island, British Columbia. Originally from Calgary, Alberta, Yager graduated from the Alberta University of the Arts with a major in Printmaking. Her extensive body of work also includes drawings and paintings. Yager's work characterizes elements found in landscape which she treats as portrait, seeking to capture the soul of hills, clouds, water, trees, rocks, waves and mountains, often with a slant of humor, bright colors, and large immersive formats. Yager’s work has been exhibited across Canada and internationally since her first solo show in 1979. Yager’s work also resides in public, private and corporate collections including the Nickle Arts Museum (Calgary), Burnaby Art Gallery, SFU Galleries (Burnaby), Canada Council Art Bank (Ottawa), Air Canada collection, Royal Bank of Canada collection, Telus Corporation collection, and the Coca Cola Corporation collection. |
