Painting “The Waltz of the Koi” by Robin Hamme
2026-18
The artist behind this beautiful painting, Robin Hamme, refuses to let an advanced case of macular degeneration keep her from doing what she loves. Robin’s art coach, Marley Rose Moreno-Hollifield, has helped Robin work around her very limited central vision and focus on her love of nature and vibrant color. Robin hopes the new forever owner of her painting brings them as much joy as she felt while painting it.
