All Sites by Artist 'Val Duane ROBBINS'
Val Duane Robbins has been involved in the Arts for over 55 years. His pieces are quiet, powerful, beautiful and expressive. In the late 1940's, after a stint at Pratt Institute, he was chief designer at Textile Designs, Inc. where he created the designs used by Wamsutta for the first printed bedsheets in the world. (Today Wamsutta is a brand name for Springs Global U.S.) By 1951 Val, with his wife Mae, founded Rimrock Studios, "Designers & Creators of the World's Most Beautiful Woodenware." Many thousands of carvings, hydrostone casts and decorative accessories were displayed in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles and distributed to fine stores and galleries throughout the U.S. and abroad. Rimrock Studios and Rimrock Galleries were in operation for 30 years. He completed his first serious sculpture, a carved wooden Trojan horse, in 1950. Since then he has worked in wood, all metals, stone, clay and bronze. Val has designed fine contemporary furniture, homes and done architectural renderings for builders and individual clients. A resident of Tucson, Arizona for the past 20 years he now divides his time between sculpture, watercolors and oil paintings. 12/2007
