Robin Ray Stewart, a well-respected artist and metal fabricator, has passed away suddenly at his home in San Bartolo. Stewart, known for his remarkable contributions to local art and craftsmanship, was a trailblazer in the community, being the first non-Mexican resident of San Bartolo. His work, which includes stunning ironwork gates, doors, and various home accents, has significantly influenced the aesthetic of the area.

A memorial service will be held at the San Bartolo Church on September 15, 2024. Tributes to Stewart highlight his unique talent and the positive impact he had on those around him.
“Robin was a unique man with talent and original thought. He will be missed,” wrote Cazz Dunbar in a heartfelt tribute.
