Creating Landscape Art and Photography of North East England

Transform Your Home with Photographic Art

Welcome to Alchemi Art.  I’m Mara Robinson, a professional photographic artist who loves creating Landscape Art and Photography of North East England.  As a photographic artist, I create art using the medium of photography, whether it be one of the early processes that uses light-sensitive chemistry or a bang-up-to-date digital camera mounted on a drone.  Throughout my work, I’m always looking to create beautifully different images that inspire wonder, bring joy and remind you of somewhere special.

Starting Collecting Photographic Art

Collecting art, including photography and photographic art, for your home can be inspiring and a wonderful way to personalise the space you live in. Sure it can feel scary at first, but honestly, it can be a lot of fun. I hear people say things like, ‘I don’t know anything about art’ and they are put off. In my opinion, everyone knows about art, at least the only art that matters which is what speaks to them. One of my aims as an artist with Alchemi Art is to create beautiful magical art with prices to suit all pockets. You can start your collection in person at events or here on my website via my online shop.

Art in Durham Market Place

In the heart of the historic city of Durham in North East England you will find the market place.  Durham is best known for its stunning Cathedral which is a World Heritage Site but records first mention the market place in 1040 so it also has quite a history.  These days you’ll find all manner of amazing art, crafts and artisan food there for sale.

As one of the resident artists you’ll find me there with my photographic art highlighting the amazing North East of England on a Saturday.  Come along and say, ‘Hello’ if you’re visiting this.

It’s not a Blog – It’s where I share the Journey…

Calling it a blog seems to be a disservice in some way.  I think of it more like my online diary or journal where I share my journey as a photographic artist and thoughts on all that entails.

If you’re curious about life as an artist then let’s travel together for a while…

Learn about Photographic Art.

for the curious...

I am fascinated with light sensitive chemistry and all forms of photography.  Over time this developed into a curiosity about art as well.  If you’ve a curious nature as well then here are some articles I think you’ll love, from what is ‘Alternative Photography’ through to advice on starting you very own photographic art collection.
