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 in Ireland, then went on to earn a Master’s of Fine Art in Drawing from the Laguna College of Art and Design where she stayed on for five years as faculty. Cole returned to her native Colorado in 2018; she now works and teaches at her home studio in Arvada, the Art Students League of Denver, and online at Made for Artists.
