Hi Robbi. Last night, I was researching Chagall’s body of work for a project I’m doing and took a break & I found myself on your website. I deeply explored it. I went back a few times. I’m really blown away by your heartfelt creations of beauty.

I find you to be in a very good place in your life with a relationship to your ability to self-reflect. How that transitions into art reminds me of the girl I met so long ago. I kept some of the stationery you gave me from the Matisse exhibition at the MET, all those years ago.

I also have some notes you wrote to me. I am so blown away by your skyscapes, and the Tibetan Child I find completely captivating.

I love how your art reflects the best in you. I admired you back then. I admire you now. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝘀. 𝗠𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗯𝗶.
