Robin Cole

Robin Cole, born in Denver, Colorado in 1985, is a painter and draftswoman working in the tradition of realism. Though related to the familiar genres of landscape painting and portraiture, her work explores a slightly unusual, more nuanced and closely experienced relationship with nature that is at once otherworldly and scientific.

Cole received her BA in English at Colorado College before making a shift in her studies and career to pursue fine art. She later completed the post-baccalaureate program at the Burren College of Art before going on to earn an MFA from the Laguna College of Art and Design in 2013. These pursuits were supported and informed by a variety of residencies and grants. After serving for five years as faculty at LCAD, Cole returned to Colorado. She now works and teaches at her studio in Arvada, the Art Students League of Denver, and online at Made for Artists.
