After an 11 year career as a soloist with Pennsylvania Ballet, Robin returned to school at age 30, receiving her Bachelors of Fine Arts from Parsons The New School for Design. Her first book, Judith Viorsts Alexander, Whos Not (Do You Hear Me? I mean It!) Going to Move, was made into a musical produced by The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Robin illustrated two additional books for Ms. Viorst, three books with Jacqueline Preiss Weitzman, including the ALA Notable Book You Cant Take a Balloon into the Metropolitan Museum, and three acclaimed history books with Lynne Cheney, the vice presidents wife. Robin illustrated beloved radio star Garrison Keillors Daddys Girl, and the charming A Sock is a Pocket for your Toes by award-winning poet Elizabeth Garton Scanlon, before being paired in 2005 with author Jane OConnor for the now classic Fancy Nancy.
