Robbin, a working photographer for over 25 years, received her BFA in Photography from the Kansas City Art Institute. After working as a freelance photographer in Kansas City and then as the head of photography for University Relations at the University of Kansas, she now has her own photo studio, Sterling Image, in Lawrence, Kansas.

Robbin’s work is a blending of photography, painting and computer technology. Beginning with an original photograph she uses the computer to transform the image. This process – which is never the same and allows the image to ‘guide’ her - can be as simple as stretching and pulling pixels, adding or removing color, or completely painting a new image on top of the photograph. The resulting image is then printed on canvas or watercolor paper, to which natural media are hand applied thus making each piece a unique original.
