I draw my own graphic – which appears weekly, in the local real estate paper.”
“Some of my art work is out an about town – Jim Lavin Electrical logo – the little “bonhomme” is my design.  He was one of my first designs, and Jim is still using my art work!  His logo is recognizable, known and visible on his work vehicles.”
“My greatest pride is the mural I painted on the exterior wall of the Penetang Legion Br. 68.  I painted the mural in 2010.”

Framed original watercolour

Lu Robitaille was born in historic Penetanguishene. She and her husband raised their two children in the remoteness of Tadenac Bay, later settling in Huronia.

Lu has a home studio on Cedar Brook Farm, her family fish farm. Her deep feelings for Georgian Bay live in the art she creates; her rocks and water reflect the love and warmth she has for this unique part of Canada. She has a great affection for the character of old farms and lighthouses. Lu has developed a new style and format based on watercolour for her medium. For more information, or to arrange a private viewing of her work, Lu invites you and your family to contact her.
