BIO

Robin Tedesco is an artist and educator, living and working in Philadelphia. Her degrees in Fine Arts are from Moore College of Art (BFA), Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and University of Delaware (MFA). Her abstract oil paintings utilizing multiple layers of rich textures and colors on wood panels, reflect her experiences living in Italy, New York, and Philadelphia.

Tedesco describes herself as being both an archeologist and a detective. She loves to dig, uncover, restore and look for what the light and dark reveals and transforms. The wood panels serve as etching plates that color is pushed over and printed onto. A combination of printmaking, drawing and painting interlace to form a cohesive image, revealing the interior light and structure present in the multiple layers of pigment and texture. Tedesco is committed to conveying the richness and depth of her experiences and observations in this work.

Her work has been exhibited internationally and is in public and private collections.
