Mimi Robinson
Booksigning & Talk Tickets: Free event
Artist, designer, and educator Mimi Robinson began creating color palettes inspired by place for her own paintings, then collected the palettes in Local Color. She self-published a version of the book which we loved selling at the bookstore, especially since one of the color palettes featured was West Marin. Now Princeton Architectural Press has just released this new edition of Local Color which is even better!
