Bobbi Stout
“The inspiration for my art comes from my life experiences and my responses to the environment in which I live. Often art is a stabilizing force in my life, allowing me to express thoughts and feelings that reside deeper inside my psyche. Art sustains me in a world filled with conflict and helps me to experience the joys of life, love, and friendship.
I grew up in small towns in Illinois and Indiana and the Chicago area but consider the Bluegrass my home after living here for 46 years. I rejoined the UU Church of Lexington this spring after a 20-plus years hiatus and am truly grateful for the opportunities and friends I have encountered here.
I am primarily a self-taught artist, though I have received non-degree training and mentoring, including in illustration and printmaking. Before putting my focus on art, I worked as a psychologist, log-cabin builder, stage manager, grocery stocker, human rights activist, prison activist, and HIV-AIDS educator. Human rights, child welfare, and peace and justice are key concerns in my life and my art. ”
