"The strong blocks of color used by Robin grab me, and by showing me what she feels about herself, her body, her story, makes me reflect on how I see myself, my body, my story. To me, that is what art is about. As Picasso said, 'We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given that is given to us to understand.'

​Robin was born and lived in the suburban midwest until relocating to Boston in 2013, when her husband began working in New England. She describes feeling energized by its culturally rich urban environment steeped in history, the European sensibility of the city, and the proximity to the ocean. Robin recalls a childhood filled with drawing detailed pictures of doll like girls, using mixed media to create collages, and always feeling engaged and moved by color; color remains a striking element in all of her work.

Robin's visual voice is unique and recognizable, expressing the human figure in a contemporary style with emotionally intuitive paintings. The work reflects a practiced and imaginative use of line, shape, composition, and of course color, layering acrylic paint and charcoal on stretched canvas.  The relationship of women and their bodies is a recurrent theme in her work as is an  emotional sensitivity to what it means to be female.
