Topanga Artist Robin Becker's exhibit, "Afar," may be an excuse for you to steal away to Paso Robles for a weekend getaway (See "Escape to California's Central Coast Via Charming Paso Robles," Topanga Messenger, Vol. 38, No. 7, April 10, 2014) where the show continues through March 29, Robin Becker combines her passion for photography, architecture, portraits and fibers/textiles that has evolved into a large series of photo mixed-media paintings. She prints her photo images on various kinds of cloth, overlaying fibers onto stretched canvas, using paint, pigments, handmade paper and collage elements. Each piece is a unique photo monograph, using layers of color, imagery and words in wet paint.
