Nadine Robbins "Purple"

Robbins’ art has been showcased in renowned galleries such as the Louis K. Meisel Gallery and Anthony Brunelli Fine Arts for hyperrealist art, and are housed in private collections and museums such as the Howard A. & Judith Tullman Collection in Chicago, the Count-Ibex Collection in Germany, The Knoll Collection, the Meam in Barcelona, and The Arnot Museum in Elmira, NY.

Robbins studied at the Sollies-Pont Lycée in France and returned to the US to earn a BFA in graphic design from SUNY New Paltz. She owned an award-winning boutique design firm for over twenty years, working with major companies such as Citibank, Canon, and Shell to develop their brand identities and annual reports.

In 2008, Robbins began photographing and painting clients and friends. She refined her voice for the next two years, culminating in a solo show of eight 6'x4' portraits of couples. 8 Portrait Peaces exhibited at the Brill Gallery in North Adams, MA. Two of these paintings were accepted into the Royal Portrait Society's annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London in 2010 and 2011.

Robbins' artistic journey continued to thrive. In 2019, she participated in the prestigious "Painting Today"  to celebrate International Women's Day at the European Museum of Modern Art (MEAM) in Barcelona, Spain. Her works have been showcased at The Rockwell Museum in Corning, New York (a Smithsonian affiliate) and the Wausau Museum of Art in Wisconsin. Notably, in 2021, The Arnot Museum in Elmira, NY, invited Robbins to exhibit her entire body of current artwork in their tri-annual exhibit titled "3 Americans: Contemporary Masters of Realism.”

In 2023, paintings featured in the contemporary art magazine GOSS183 were included in the Lunar Codex Peregrine and Nova missions as part of NASA's Artemis plan to land humans back on the Moon in 2026.

Most recently, Robbins initiated a long-term project to paint portraits of influential figures who have inspired her throughout her career. The first portrait is of the matriarch of photorealism, Audrey Flack, which was exhibited and sold at Art Miami in 2023.
