Printmaker Robbin Juris studied surface and textile design at Fashion Institute of Technology and ceramics at Chelsea Ceramics Guild, after attending graduate school in English literature at Columbia University. She began showing her artwork at the age of 17, having been selected to participate in a group exhibition at Lever House in New York City. She has had a solo show of raku-fired ceramic vessels at the Chelsea Ceramics Guild Gallery and two solo shows of prints at the Treetops Chamber Music Society. Her print entitled "The Center Cannot Hold" was chosen by Ann Coffin, founder and director of International Print Center New York, to be included in the 2nd Biennial Footprint International Exhibition at Center for Contemporary Printmaking. She was a finalist in the Hammond Museum's 2010 Tri-State Competition for Emerging Artists. In addition to her work as an artist, Robbin has had a multifaceted career as a magazine editor, including managing the news section of PC Magazine. Here she developed a strong interest in using computers as a medium for printmaking.

Robbin has been working on several large series of prints—among them Aspects of Infinity and Transformations/Turbulence—that explore the complex patterns and dynamic processes of the natural world. In her color prints, Robbin uses fractal geometry and its infinitely recursive properties as a starting point for abstraction. These color prints are unified by their use of shapes that preserve their detailed structure in all scales. Thus, what viewers see on the surface of a print is also what they might see if they could zoom into a print in real time. In her black-and-white work, Robbin examines the transformative effects of forces such as wave patterns on universal forms. Themes that recur in Robbin’s work include the seemingly paradoxical interdependence of chaos and order and the mysterious relationships among forms in nature.

Originally from New York City, Robbin lives in Stamford, Connecticut, with her husband and their two sons.
