Luce Artist Biography

Robyn Horn and her husband, John, are enthusiastic collectors of craft and sculpture. They own more than eight hundred pieces and designed their large home in Arkansas purely to "show off the collection." Robyn learned to turn wood from her brother-in-law, Sam Horn, who attended classes given by David Ellsworth. She is inspired by natural rock forms and manipulates wood to portray the solidity and irregularity of weathered stone.
