Recent trip to Africa inspires art from local photographer
By Vikki Matsis, Special to The Post and Courier
Thursday, July 8, 2010
Robin Joseph takes the phrase "being at the right place at the right time" to a whole new meaning.
On her most recent adventure to Tanzania, Africa, Joseph was able to follow a hunt done by three brothers in a tribe. Her photos tell the story of their lives; they are filled with emotion, history and the compositions are breathtaking. During the month of June, Joseph was the featured artist at The Artist Guild Gallery on East Bay Street. Her show was titled, Naipenda Africa (I love Africa) and featured photographs from her travels. Joseph has been in love with taking photographs since she was a child; it was only a few years ago that she began taking painting classes at The Studio in West Ashley. Now in addition to having a full time career as a professional counselor, she travels the world, takes photographs and then uses those photos as inspiration for her oil paintings. One of her goals is to spend time on every continent in the world. "I try to put myself in beautiful and unique places. Traveling to foreign lands where their customs and lifestyles are different from mine inspires me. Everyday brings a different adventure." To view her work, visit her website or stop by The Artist Guild Gallery at 160 East Bay St.
