Robin Ross was educated at the University of Colorado and New York University and has been living and working in Brooklyn NY for the past 22 years. Influenced at a young age by Degas, Braque and Brueghel reproductions, she formed her personal sense of color and immediacy. At eighteen she went into a brief coma, an experience adding an aspect of deep spirituality to her life and work.

Her artwork has appeared in publications including Art in General Manual 1992-1993 (1994), The New York Daily News (2002), And Then (2003), Flying Into the Sun (2004) and Zeek Magazine (2007). Ross has appeared on Live at Five as a featured artist on NBC's “Local Focus” (1996), in the independent film about her project “Animal Postures” by David Varga (1997), and in “Robin Ross: A Look at Hands” directed by filmmaker Leybe Diaz (2004). Her recent two person show at Tribes Gallery can be viewed at The James Kalm Report: Being In a Lone Space, Surbone and Ross at Tribes.

Her work is present in many private and public collections, including Pfizer Inc., the Brooklyn Marriott Hotel and the International Monetary Fund. Ross has been awarded grants including the Adolph and Ester Gottlieb Foundation Emergency Grant (1997), Independence Community Foundation (1999), a residency co-sponsored by the American and Spanish Embassies and Adesjo Fundacion in Ocoa, Dominican Republic (2000), and the Sage Brush Fund Award (2004 and 2007).
