Incorporating concepts of Celtic design in a modern sense, robin finds inspiration in the lines, shapes, colors and forms of organic and manmade shapes from DNA spirals, curled ropes, to spiral staircases and sea stacks.

Her artwork has been featured on snowboard designs, large fiberglass sculptures, on print and electronic magazine publications, as well, as exhibits online and in physical galleries.

Having grown up in a family of crafty women (handcrafted arts including quilting, crochet, sewing, as well as poetry), she continues to find ways to incorporate mixed media and multiple media in her work. Saturday afternoons as a child were spent reading, writing, helping her grandmother piece quilts, or doing an assortment of craft kits or projects, from painting, making beads, spin art, to putting jigsaw puzzles together. Robin still enjoys putting things together or finding natural juxtapositions in photography.

Elements of sand, acrylic & metallic paint, oil pastel, metallic flakes, glitter, acrylic stones, glass beads, paper and tin have all made appearances in her paintings; in her photographs, she actively looks for the hidden in plain view. Robin continues to organize and coordinate exhibits for a variety of venues; her digital art includes elements of all things: she often uses her own photographs and scans of her paintings combined with new art only created online to bring together yet a new artwork. Robin continues to organize and coordinate exhibits for a variety of venues including online.

Brief reviews of robin's work:

"...combines layers of acrylic paint, metallic flake and paint, glass beads, and sand to move away from representational art while exploring texture, movement, and color." -- Tate Center Gallery exhibit review

"Suggestion becomes a powerful tool to transport the winter weary to the tropics for a mental vacation... [her] trademarks are bright, intense tropical colors that move across the canvas and a quirky, humorous way of viewing the world..." --Athens Banner Herald article, 2/25/99, Stroke of spontaneity...

"What do you want people to get from your artwork? A temporary escape from reality ... to actually get lost in a moment, (and) spend some time with the work." --From, When you the see the world through art (interview)...
