This is our founder, Robin Larsen. Robin started New Hope Arts, Inc. in 2002, creating a series of events and art exhibits that continue to affect people from this area and beyond. Robin was instrumental in starting the annual Outdoor Sculpture project and other yearly arts activities.

Sadly, Robin passed away in 2009 and is sorely missed. Those who knew Robin well knew that she did not like have her photo taken. Ricky Godinez of Sidetrackes Gallery was lucky enough to snap this wonderful photo of Robin about a year before she died.
