More than Art or Photography

It's Photographic Art

I’m Mara Louvain Robinson, a professional photographic artist inspired by the landscape and landmarks of North East England.  As a photographic artist, I create art using the medium of photography, whether it be one of the early processes that uses light-sensitive chemistry or a bang-up-to-date digital camera mounted on a drone.  Throughout my work, I’m always looking to create beautifully different images that inspire wonder, bring joy and remind you of somewhere special.

My Story

More about me. What makes me tick and why I do what I do...

Starting Collecting Art

Collecting art for your home can be inspiring and a wonderful way to personalise the space you live in. Sure it can feel scary at first, but honestly, it can be a lot of fun. I hear people say things like, ‘I don’t know anything about art’ and they are put off. In my opinion, everyone knows about art, at least the only art that matters which is what speaks to them. One of my aims as an artist with Alchemi Art is to create beautiful magical art with prices to suit all pockets. You can start your collection in person at events or here on my website via my online shop.

Find me at Durham Market

You will find me on Saturdays in Durham Marketplace on the outdoor market where I have a regular stall.

Open 9 to 4pm don’t forget to say, ‘Hello’ if you’re visiting.

It’s not a Blog – It’s where I share the Journey…

Calling it a blog seems to be a disservice in some way.  I think of it more like my online diary or journal where I share my journey as a photographic artist and thoughts on all that entails.

I am fascinated with light sensitive chemistry and all forms of photography.  Over time this developed into a curiosity about art as well.  If you’ve a curious nature as well then here are some articles I think you’ll love, from what is ‘Alternative Photography’ through to advice on starting you very own photographic art collection.
