From my beginnings in a two-room schoolhouse in the farming
and ranching community of Woodrow, Colorado, I have attempted
to describe my surroundings, feelings, values and dreams visually,
through artistic expression. I love the high plains, the wide-open
space, and the subtle beauty of the grasslands where I've
lived my life. I grew up here, so did my mother, her mother
and her mother. The inspiration for my work, it's all right
here.
My husband Myron and I share our ranchland home with 3 Angora
goats, 20 chickens, 5 geese, 4 ducks, 2 ponies, 2 horses,
8 cats, 1 dog and 3 much loved burros. Our animals and the
wildlife of the surrounding plains and grasslands provide
me with always-changing models for my watercolor paintings
and sculptures.
*** Defying Robin's requests, and modesty, her daughters and
grandchildren want you to know something about her many accomplishments.
Starting with "Little Broomtail", Robin's bronze work is beloved
by collectors from around the world. Her love of nature, and
her talents have combined to create a wonderful diversity
in her art. From her first works through the award-winning
highly stylized "Pronghorn" antelope, to the current "A Friend
to Lean On", Robin's sculptures will enchant and delight people
of all ages.
Her work has appeared (and in many cases, won major awards)
at many prestigious shows and exhibits in the country: The
C.M. Russell Auction of Original Art, C.M. Russell Museum,
Great Falls, Montana; Western Regional Art Show, Cheyenne,
Wyoming; Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, Wausau, Wisconsin;
Sculpture in the Park, Loveland, Colorado; Catherine Lorillard
