                                     Robbin’s Inspiration

Currently living with her husband and daughter outside Boulder, Colorado, she is surrounded by inspiration. Wildlife is plentiful in her backyard overlooking the foothills of Boulder, and Robbin takes every opportunity to enjoy seeing foxes, hummingbirds, butterflies and even a mountain lion. She often photographs animals and objects and uses the photos for inspiration. You’ll notice the whimsical fox and adorable wren featured throughout her designs. Robin states, “So much of what we see and so much of the good in the earth is coming from artists in looking at things differently.”

Robbin’s Journey

Robbin has been drawing since she was 2 ½ years old. Her mother asked what her circle of scribbles were and her reply was “snakes fighting”. Her mother encouraged Robbin and made sure she went to art school. Robbin attended Ringling School of Art and Design and also Parsons School of Designs in Los Angeles and NYC. She started her own graphic design business right after college. During that ten-year venture, she refined her style by focusing on designs that bring joyful whimsy themes to life.
