Welcome to Adele Delivers, where I deliver two of my favorite contemporary artists right to your inbox every Friday. Here’s to fostering a deeper connection with art, one artist at a time.

Robin F. Williams

When you first lay eyes on a Robin F. Williams painting, you'll likely wonder, "How did she make this?"

Robin is motivated by material innovation and it sets her work apart from conventional painting styles. She layers techniques from various sources, like interior design, her RISD education, YouTube, and TikTok to create large-scale portrayals of women that challenge conventional gender norms.

The women often appear strong, confident, morbid, and flawed. Regarding their devilish smiles, in Robin's words, "I want it to feel as though these women are getting the last laugh." Learn more about Robin here.

Caroline Absher

After meditating for three hours, you open your eyes and feel as though you’ve turned inside out. It’s as if your body has become empty, and everything outside of it is now a part of you...

Now look at Caroline's art with this sensation in mind.

Enjoy the psychological spaces where the mind and body unite, see what it feels like to turn inside out, and empathize with the authentic revelation of Caroline's true self. Learn more about Caroline here.

As you step into the weekend, internalize the timeless words of Thich Nhat Hanh, "The paradise of forms and colors is always accessible."

Thank you for being here! See you next Friday with more art.
