Lisa Beth Robinson is the proprietor of Somnambulist Tango Press where she makes artists books, fine art, and collaborative chapbooks and broadsides. Robinson is a mixed-media artist who is transforming materials physically and psychologically in the pursuit of understanding the idea of reading alongside interpersonal, spiritual, and environmental relationships and their global impact. Her media include handmade paper, letterpress printing, collage, and her innovative processes employ principles of physics, botany, and Jungian psychology.

Robinson's books and bookworks visualize the relationship between language and experience, making connections between disassociated objects and concerns. Her primary research interest is colony collapse disorder, both in and of itself and as a metaphor for global sociopolitical acts. Of equal interest at this time is her collaborative project in fused glass with sculptor Kristin Thielking that focuses on wave science and shipwrecks as a reflection of the human condition. She is extremely interested in the interconnectedness of things.

Robinson serves as an assistant professor at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, and serves on the national board of the College Book Art Association. Her degrees are from the Johnston Center at the University of Redlands and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Recently, her work has been purchased by institutions such as the New York Public Library, Yale University, Scripps College, Emory University, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
