Robin Johnson's practice focuses on exploring principles of contemporary representation by merging her traditional training and digital arts background. Rooted in representation and perception, she explores relationships within physical and psychological environments. Her imagery reflects the iconic natural and cultural milieu of California as she creates non-linear allegories in which the scene shifts between portraiture and narration. The environments in her work are interchangeable and attend to geographical, psychological, and historically gendered spaces.
A nationally exhibiting artist, she has been featured in a number of publications; Southwest Art, Voyage LA, Riviera, Orange Coast, Studio Visit, COAST, and Cornell University's Epoch, while her paintings hang in private and public collections across the country. Robin and her work have appeared on The Travel Channel's The Dead Files and HGTV's Hawaii Life. Robin received her MFA in Painting from the Laguna College of Art + Design and is currently the Art Department Chair at Cosumnes River College. Previously she taught at the Savannah College of Art and Design, Loyola Marymount University, Fullerton College and served as archivist and studio assistant for noted California artist, Tony DeLap.
