  Before finishing a BFA degree from Oregon College of Art and Craft as a Ford Restart Scholar, Robinson was a certified picture framer and paper restorer for 14 years. In 2007, she was awarded an opportunity with the University of Georgia to live and travel through Italy studying the conservation of books and art as a conflict dispute resolution tool during the Renaissance. Her artwork has been celebrated in the public view for over ten years in both the United States and Europe. Showing her artwork publicly lead her to a Masters program at the Univeristy of Oregon Law School in conflict and dispute resolution and working as a private practice mediator and conflict/grief coach. She works with grievers and their companions to find alternate ways of expressing grief and mourning during disputes. She also cares for cultural property as an art conservator and museum technician for the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in Eugene, Oregon. In the studio, she is currently finishing restoring a 18th C Chandler and Price Letterpress machine and is focusing on creating artist books.
