In 2006 Robyn graduated from Ryerson University's Fashion Communications and Design program. She had majored in illustration by simply taking every class offered, and by pushing the limits of the assignments by actually painting her fashion illustrations on a grand scale.

In October 2006 Robyn presented her first series of illustrations titled "Fashion Phantom" at M:ONE:11 on Queen Street West in Toronto. The show was an amazing success where Robyn sold a lot of work and had many people in attendance. After feeling the rush of completing a series and exhibiting a solo show, Robyn decided to pursue making art as her career.

In January 2008 Robyn was asked by Charlie Irani to work as the in-house artist, and events coordinator at Charlie’s Gallery. Together Robyn and Charlie organized many memorable art events which brought the community together.

In February 2008 Robyn exhibited her second solo series of artwork titled SLAW at Charlie's Gallery. It was a vibrant series of underwater scenes inspired by The Unicorn. Opening night turned into an amazing fashion/dance/art party with a huge number in attendance. 

Robyn's two solo exhibits in Toronto were celebrations involving many people and an exciting energy. She has also been involved in many group showings, and has donated a lot of her artwork in efforts to raise money for various charities.

Robyn has been greatly influenced by Fashion Photography, Graffiti, Renaissance Art and the Art Nouveau movement. She aspires to build a unique artistic style incorporating elements from these areas.

Robyn moved to Vancouver BC in September '08 to find time and space to really get into painting. In May 2010 she exhibited her third series of paintings, titled 'Spring Fever', at The Whip Restaurant Gallery on Main St. in Vancouver.

Robyn has the ability to attract a varied client base and is currently working on free-lance commissions spanning from album cover designs to sculpture. She is open for booking and eager to try new things.
