Inspired by Nature: The Women Artists of Rokeby

Inspired by Nature: The Women Artists of Rokeby
2025 Seasonal Exhibition, May 10–October 12, 2025
The Robinson farm is set in a strikingly beautiful landscape. The ever-changing woodlands, ponds, and fields — abundant with flowers, plants, and animals domestic and wild — and nearby shimmering Lake Champlain crowned by Adirondack Mountain peaks, inspired the art of Anna Stevens Robinson and her daughters Rachael Robinson Elmer and Mary Robinson Perkins.
Inspired by Nature: The Women Artists of Rokeby shares a small portion of the work they produced. We invite you to draw inspiration from this exhibit to nourish your own creative expression.

Ann King Stevens Robinson, “Anna”

Mary Robinson Perkins, “Molly”
(1884–1931)
“Our business is to become better (in every sense of the word) human beings, and Art is only to be regarded as an inestimable aid in making us so. Its chastening and intensifying power cannot be over valued — but never lose sight of the fact that it is only a means.”
— Rachael Robinson, Personal Diary, 1901.
