Artists of Wisconsin: Robin Jebavy

Robin Jebavy

As someone in awe of artistic talent (which I don't possess) and a Wisconsinite, I want to highlight artists in my home state.

Meet Robin Jebavy. Her works are visually stunning and show a mastery of color and symbolic forms. Please visit her website to see more of her art and learn more about her.

I could not describe her artistic intentions better than she does herself on her website. Robin Jebavy's works:

"call to mind elements of cathedral interiors, suggesting their stain glass windows, massive architectural supports, fine ornamentation, and decorative flourishes, as she builds nearly symmetrical, altar-like spaces that are at once intimate, domestic, banal, and monumental, metaphysical, and transcendental."

Here are a few representative examples of her considerable talent.

Sun King

This is an earlier work, showing her interesting use of color and remarkable symmetry.

Master Seer

A hint of an anthropomorphic presence in a splash of engaging shapes and colors.

Rainbow

A glorious and playful use of bright colors against a muted background.

Untitled, Oil on Canvas

Displaying photo-realistic talent, an atypical asymmetrical work. The depth in distance displayed in this painting is astounding.

J.S. Bach's Orgain

Spectacular. And I'll leave you with several others to contemplate.

Outdoor Wedding

Delirium

Blue Still Life

Red Still Life

Golden Spectrum

Joy of Life

In Saecula Saeculorum, the 4th Novel in the Valquist Series

In this fourth novel of the Valquist Series, Andrew Valquist is retired (?) from the National Security Agency and teaching Latin at a Classical Academy in the Washington DC area. But in the world of espionage, looks can be deceiving. He's not necessarily happy with the role he has played in all this, but the school was actually a joint NSA/MI-6 Project in which four young people have been unwittingly prepared for a mission to travel back in time to ancient Rome to retrieve information from a library that may save the modern world from certain destruction. They know they have to at least try to save humanity, but can they also save each other?

Next Stop: Spanish, the 3rd Novel in the Valquist Series

This third novel in the Valquist Series can be read as an espionage action-adventure in its own right, but also you can use it as a way to either brush up on your Spanish or learn functional Spanish for the first time! John Valquist needs to learn Spanish. But he's in luck, since his uncle Andrew is a language expert and a former (?) spy who is taking him on a vacation to Spain so he can study the language. In Next Stop: Spanish, you have the chance to see and study the words John studies, and then watch him add more and more Spanish into his dialogue as the story progresses. During this vacation, they get pulled into espionage intrigue (why do these things always happen to the Valquist family?). In the dramatic conclusion, John will need to put together everything he has learned to save his uncle!

Amor Vincit Omnia: the 2nd Novel in the Valquist Series

In this second novel of the Valquist Series, Keith Massey takes you into the halls of the National Security Agency, where he himself worked for four years after 9/11 and an Arabic linguist. You follow our hero Andrew Valquist, as he starts work as a new recruit at the NSA. Little does he know that on his first on the job, he's about to fly off on an unexpected overseas assignment. He'll be even more surprised when he learns that his background in ancient Latin will be crucial to the mission!
