Robbie Kaye
Born in Brooklyn, NY, my first experiences of life consisted of tall buildings and cement parks until my parents shipped me off to sleep-away summer camp at age 5. Ever since I had my first breath of fresh air, the scent of grass and hay, the feel of lake water and the sight of trees, I knew that I destined to replicate the wonder and beauty I had experienced in those summer months. They were the foundation for my love of art and all the elements of nature.
Drawn to expressing the beauty, intensity and fragility of life, my resin work, my newest artform to date, is the perfect medium as it combines these elements which result in either bold colors or subdued hues. Whether literal or abstract, I see my work as an ongoing journal, one that has provided me a voice to express what I otherwise might not.

I take photographs and create distinctive resin paintings, sometimes merging the two, with a goal of producing a provocative aesthetic that invites conversation and interpretation.
I experience each process as a composition and collaboration, and transfer that to working with my clients and collectors. My goal is to add a memorable aesthetic to my client’s lives, the living and work spaces and offer a distinguishable piece of art that embellishes life and evokes feeling.
A classical and jazz trained musician, Robbie performed and composed music for many years in New York and Portland, OR, before she transitioned into photography. As the staff photographer for the Admissions Department at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, she also co-authored the 125th Anniversary photography and poetry book, “Rendezvous with Light,” with former California Poet Laureate, Carol Muske Dukes. Robbie’s work has been exhibited internationally in museums and galleries and featured in numerous publications such as LensCulture, Lenscratch, Gourmet, and Marie Claire magazines.
I’m proud to have my work as a permanent exhibit at The University of California. My work is also obtained by private collectors throughout the U.S. and Europe.

Born in Brooklyn, NY, my first experiences of life consisted of tall buildings and cement parks until my parents shipped me off to sleep-away summer camp at age 5. It was in the catskill mountains that I was first introduced to nature, music and art…at camp.
I find harmony in creativity and communicate by weaving melodies, brush strokes, photographs and words. These are my drugs of choice…luckily.
