RoByn Thompson

Paterson, NJ

Abandoned as an infant by a caravan of gypsies, RoByn Thompson grew up in the wilds of suburban New Jersey. A curious child, she often spoke to plants and animals. Occasionally, they spoke back. She was branded as an artist at an early age and took several decades to come to that realization herself.
Color has always been one of RoByn’s favorite toys. She delights in that which is saturated. She positively purrs when complementary colors come together and vibrate electrically. Her art is a way to define herself, explore her world and a tool in her quest for meaning.
