Robyn Davey moved from Brisbane over twenty years ago and she has been living in Gladstone ever since. She has explored oil painting and drawing although she has been interested in dress design for many years. Robyn moved with her husband to the United Kingdom for three years and it was there that she was introduced to modern embroidery. This opened her eyes to the possibilities of the medium and during an 18month stint in Brisbane she pursed this interest by attending a Contemporary Textile Workshop at Carseldine QUT. In recent years she has been attending textile workshops run by Flying Arts. In 2000 she was successful in having her work accepted in the statewide QCL Art Award.
