Robyn_WellsRobyn Wells
Robyn Wells fancies herself an inspiration junkie. She is a graphic designer in the Chicagoland area by day. She is a crafter and artist by evenings and weekends. She’s the kind of girl who chose a Bachelor’s degree in Art because she couldn’t commit to one media. Now she works in drawing, painting, photography, digital design, fiber arts, metalwork, printmaking, 3D and mixed-media. She has a website, robayre.com, and blogs regularly at robayre.com/news.
