Meet the Artist

Robin Bellinger is a midlife artist whose work in acrylic and mixed media is defined by dynamic texture, gestural brushwork, and active mark-making. She treats color as independent from literal representation, using it to carry meaning alongside form. Her paintings balance abstraction and representation, with an emphasis on viewer interpretation.

Robin earned a degree in Art Education from Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and went on to teach art across K–12 grade levels. Her experience as an educator continues to inform the process and expression of her artistic approach. As a full-time abstract expressionist artist, Robin exhibits throughout New England and creates advocacy-driven work inspired by her lived experience.

My work is inspired by my lived experience as the mother of neurodiverse children. These paintings champion for an underrepresented community and the brilliance within every child.
