Biography: |
| | Arcadia was born in the Philippines in 1955, the oldest of seven siblings. She arrived in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1988 as a nanny, and her name at that time was Arcadia Cruzat
In 1991 she was married and changed her name to Arcadia Robinson. She is a certified florist, a gardener, jewellery designer, photographer and seamstress to name just a few of her gifts.
In winter of 2002 Arcadia took basic watercolour painting class. She quickly progressed, and started with acrylics and oils along with watercolours. She is in the most part self-taught. She has been well received by her peers from the beginning of her career as a gifted artist.
In November 2002 she competed and won an honourable mention in Place Des Arts “INNOVATION” sponsored by Arts Council now called ArtsConnect with her entry “Three Shades Of Dogwood”. In 2006 she won the first wine labelling competition sponsored by Port Moody Arts Centre with her entry “Fall Harvest”.

She is the Founding President of the Coquitlam Art Club which she started in 2007. The Club meets twice a month at the Dogwood Pavilion, on Poirier Street, Coquitlam, B. C.
Her motto is “Do not be afraid to be different, criticism and compliments are good reasons to challenge yourself to do better”. |

Artist's Statement: |
| | Painting is my passion, since I discover how wonderful feeling it is to be creative
the bright and bold colors seems to attract me like honey on the bees.How mixing it create an excitement that’s hard to explain. Is like a dance between my color palette and my brush.And the dance floor is my canvas.Nature is my favorite subject specially the flower.The soft fragile and bright colors of the flower awaken the sleeping artist within me.
I’m enchanted to the beauty of the emerald color of the forest.And I want to explore them all.Since I can’t possibly do that.I can explore them only through my canvas. |
