This exhibition round includes works provided by LaShonda Scott Robinson which will be on view in the First Floor Main Gallery from September 24 – November 22, 2025.  Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public.  The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces. This series gives the public a chance to meet and interact with visiting artists and discuss their work as it is on display and available for purchase. Come out, enjoy a pleasant evening, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you!  The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday, November 22 from 5-7 pm.

 

About the exhibit:

I have been exhibiting my art for twenty years. Yet, still, I feel as if I am opening my heart  and allowing everyone to view my soul. 

The Art is Me. I took a DNA test and discovered my ancestry is African, Native American,  French, Welsh, German, and Swiss. This revelation made me compassionate for the  traumatic journey that begets my diverse and complex heritage. 

I illustrate raw emotions conveyed through body language. Emotions are universal. They  transcend cultural boundaries and connect us all. As an artist, I aspire to motivate others  to embrace their unique heritage while fostering a connection to humanity through our  shared emotional experiences. 

Art is like looking into a mirror. So, though I paint through the gaze of a black woman  – when my art resonates with your soul, the art becomes a reflection of you. And  because of the emotional connection, you can look at my art and honestly say, The Art is Me!

 

About the artist:

LaShonda Scott Robinson is a self-taught watercolor artist who calls Tuscaloosa, AL  home. 

LaShonda captures deep, often unspoken emotions through body language. She chooses  not to paint faces, believing that while our expressions might hide our feelings, our bodies  always reveal our true selves. 

Her art has been featured in Momentum National MS Society Magazine, Design for  Dyslexia 2024 Show House in Tuscaloosa, AL, a feature on Tabitha Brown’s Very Good  Mondays, Tina Knowles (The mother of Beyoncé) WACO Theater Wearable Art Gala,  Judge Mathis E! Network series Mathis Family Matters, Descendants: The Rise of Red,  and many solo exhibitions. 

LaShonda is happily married with one son.
