Robyn Smith

Hello! I’ll be having surgery March 30th! It’s been something I’ve been waiting for, for a long time and undoubtedly will alleviate chronic neck and back pain I’ve been dealing with for years. I feel very blessed that insurance will cover the procedure but I will be out of work for 4-6 weeks to recover. This will set me back approximately $3400 and so I’m asking for help covering 🔹Rent 🔹Bills 🔹other recover expenses ANYTHING WOULD BE SO HELPFUL! For a donation of ANY amount just Dm your address and I’ll send you a postcard as a thank you with the art in my post :) Venmo: Robyn-Brooke-smith PayPal/zelle: [email protected] Link is also in my bio! Thank you so much for reading 💞

Above is a piece I did for the Ethan Allen Homestead Gallery Show coming up in Burlington VT. Its 24x 36” Coloured Pencil and NeoColorII crayons🖍️ His name is Newport. Newport has so much mystery surrounding him. Although that sounds somewhat ethereal the truth is that Newport’s existence as a Black man in the 1700s was not considered worthy of documentation. He has been cemented in history only because of his effort to save Ethan Allen’s life during their “Famous Ride” together. Newport clutched the reins of yoked oxen pulling their sled, across the frozen plains of the Winooski River, using only one hand. His other, kept Allen’s convulsing body from falling onto the ice during a medical episode. This went on for four miles. We don’t know what Newport looked like, we don’t know how old he was, we don’t know the exact nature of his “employment” under Ethan Allen. We don’t know if he had any siblings, his favourite food, if he liked to whistle, my point being Newport deserved much more. The scar running down his arm represents all we know about him but every other coloured shape represents who he was and his unlimited potential stifled by the specific intensity of racism in 18th Century America.
