Robin began her career in printmaking as a BFA student at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, where she studied under Tamarind Master Printer Bob Rogers. After graduating, she moved to Alberta where she worked as a Technician in the Printmaking Department of the University of Alberta. While employed there she co-founded, with Marc Siegner, the Society of Northern Alberta Print-Artists. Robin entered into the Masters program at U of A and graduated with her MVA in 1990. She then moved to Yellowknife and continued her studio practice, exhibiting at Latitude 53 Gallery and the Machida Print Museum in Japan among other shows. In addition, she worked with Arctic College travelling and teaching printmaking in the communities of Iqaluit, Cape Dorset and Holman.
In 2005, Robin, along with her husband and son, moved to Fort McMurray, and Robin began teaching in the Art and Design Department at Keyano College. While there, she exhibited in Faculty shows as well as in print exhibitions in Beijing and Thailand. In 2012 the family relocated to the Edmonton area and Robin continues to teach as a contract instructor as well as being an exhibiting artist.
