Columbine High School graduate Robin Cole is an oil painter 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’s solo exhibition Genesis treats the natural world as a mirror reflecting the inner terrain of the human condition. Through the lenses of nature and magical realism, Robin's new work expresses how motherhood has shaped her artistic journey. It explores the primal events of germination, gestation, birth, and revelation, as well as the simple beauty and joy of seeing the world anew through the eyes of a child.

Cole is represented by Gallery 1261 in Denver, Colorado
