Upon graduating high school in the Bay Area, she matriculated to Parsons School of Design in New York, majoring in Photography. After connecting with painter Brian Gormley, her primary medium became paint. Excited about exploring the intersection of history, cultural mores, and art, Robin decided to complete her undergraduate studies at Mills College in Oakland where she had the opportunity to study oil painting with renowned artist Hung Liu. In 2008 she earned an M.A.Ed. from Stanford University and began teaching History, Studio Art, and later Mural, English and Theater Arts in several schools throughout the Bay Area. In 2014 Robin stepped away from full-time teaching to expand her career in art and design.
