Robin began sketching and painting in 1999. She specializes in realistic wildlife art but also enjoys painting watercolor landscapes, custom pet portraits, and large abstracts. She is inspired by God’s creation as she attempts to depict wildlife in their natural habitats.
She has served as the Southern Chapter Chairman of the Indiana Wildlife Artists Association (IWA) and has won many awards at juried exhibits. She has shown and sold her work at fund raisers for the Indiana Wildlife Federation, National Wild Turkey Federation, the Indiana Recycling Coalition, the Civitan Club, and Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry, Friends of Goose Pond, and Ducks Unlimited.
