Robin Danely is an American artist who has lived and worked in the UK since 2014. She studied painting and printmaking in California in the early 2000s, and has exhibited work internationally, including San Francisco, Kyoto, and London.
She is a representational painter who focuses on images of inscrutable women and flowers slightly past their prime to explore embodied femininity and ageing. She presents traditionally feminine subjects with a modern sensibility and contextuality, using bold colour and energetic brushwork to reinterpret their symbolic meaning.
Robin was a participant on Sky Art’s Portrait Artist of the Year in 2023, and won first place in the Theo Paphitis x London Graphic Centre art prize in 2024. She is based at Magdalen Road Studios in Oxford, and teaches portraiture and still life painting in and around Oxford.
