Roy Robinson Retrospective

A retrospective show for Abita Springs artist/illustrator Roy Robinson will be held at the Abita Springs Trailhead Museum. Robinson passed away at age 97 in January of this year, after a long career as a designer, cartoonist, and art teacher. He was still producing cartoons in collaboration with Maurice Le Gardeur that regularly appeared in the St. Tammany Farmer.  His cartoons are known for their quick, lean lines and fluid watercolor technique.  Roy and Maurice have won 30 national awards for their “Mona” book series. An opening reception will take place 6 pm–9 pm Saturday, December 8. trailheadmuseum.org.
