Illustrations
While paid as a children's book illustrator since 1980, Robin admits (and her high school Chem Lab partner can testify) she has actually been illustrating all her school notes, as a vital learning aid.

Robin's confident linear style speaks of deft pencil work strong enough to stand alone but that also can be augmented by skillful paint washes enriched with colour pencil. Her adaptive range includes traditional ink “pen” contour line and hatching, a film noir type of dark shadows and oddly cropped angles to funky comix type of art that exploits a calculated messier style.

A rare sub-specialty she offers is the Instructional Illustration techniques used in I Touched the Moon (Annick 2001) which combine logic, sequencing and a kind of stilled animation of images, well honed after her years generating thousands of instructional handouts as a secondary school Visual Arts and Applied Design teacher.

Preferring to work closely with each client, with no agent or middle man to confuse the communication, this insightful and versatile artist can deliver at turn around speeds that cost a little more but are, in this busy world, well worth it.
