Since 1995, she has been dedicated to capturing and sharing compelling visual narratives through photography and writing. Her work includes a series of photo profile exhibitions highlighting historical and architecturally significant sites throughout the metropolitan Chicago area, as well as intimate portraits of individuals expressing their "Inner Talent." These exhibitions have been showcased in various venues across the Chicago region, bringing attention to the overlooked beauty of both place and people.

Robin’s special passion is developing The Inner Talents Series, a compilation that blends photography, interviews, and written commentary to profile people who are living their dreams and showcasing their unique talents. Committed to storytelling that uplifts and inspires, Robin is currently returning to her roots in photography with a new project titled Neighborhood Profiles: East Side Stories. Through this work, she aims to celebrate community life and preserve meaningful local histories.

Her vision extends beyond individual projects; Robin is dedicated to expanding The Inner Talents Series for display in a wide range of venues, collaborating with communities on art initiatives that emphasize positive stories and awareness.
