Artist: Robin Gates

Robin paints whimsy – characters, lines, and texture – using mixed media on wood panels, canvas, furniture, instruments, and other 3D surfaces. Her work blends bold mark-making with layered materials like paper, pencil, and charcoal, creating rich textures that feel both spontaneous and intentional. Influenced by street textures, fleeting moments, and everyday absurdities, she builds each piece through a process of layering and removal, revealing unexpected forms and stories beneath the surface. Rooted in a deep curiosity about people and how we connect, Robin’s art invites viewers into a world that’s vibrant, offbeat, and unmistakably human.
