After traveling the United States and Europe, Robin returned to her Cherokee home of Oklahoma. She finds that her art gives her quiet nature a voice, and strengthens her connection to her Cherokee heritage. After discovering journaling, she refocused and started a renewed exploration of her art in a more meaningful way. Creating art on the small page has caused a metamorphosis of her style and technique. Robin has since exhibited at numerous Native American Art Shows and has won several awards in painting, drawing, printmaking, graphics, and pottery.
Medium: Graphic Arts, Painting, Pottery, Sculpture
Robin works in multiple 2D and 3D mediums. She has been drawing since she was a child and won her first art show with a crayon drawing when she was 5 years old. Robin is a self-taught 2D artist that has been developing her skills since that tender age. She started regularly competing in Native American art shows almost 20 years ago and continues to this day. Robin’s 2D mediums included water color, ink, pencil, acrylic painting, gouache, mixed media, and now printmaking.
Keeping her creative juices flowing by learning, she has been fortunate to take classes in pottery with Troy Jackson and Tama Roberts, and has added pottery and sculpture to her repertoire. She already has won awards in pottery. Printmaking is also a new found love and this medium has also netted her several awards.
Robin’s work often uses Cherokee symbols and stories which are tied into the work itself. Much of her work is both artistic and educational, often using history and Cherokee story telling as strong inspirations for her work.
