Robin was my ice skating teacher so long ago and I cherished her lessons with me. She taught me so much and had a wonderful way of engaging with children. So sorry to learn of her passing.

Collaborating with Robin to integrate art in the curriculum always produced results that provided amazing opportunities for students. She was talented, creative and went the extra mile to provide classes with meaningful and unique artistic experiences. It was such a joy to be her colleague and mentor.

I was so saddened to just hear of Robin’s passing. She was a talented artist, a fine teacher at Saint James, and a lovely human being. I shall miss her.

So sad to hear this news. We had lost track of Robin after we left Baltimore in 92. David's days with Naked Feed were some of his most fulfilling days as a dancer. Robin's endless light and energy will be sorely missed.

This photo shows us working on the Space, Line, Design program that Robin and I created for Young Audiences of Atlanta and toured to dozens of schools all over Georgia. She always had great ideas.

Robin was smart, wise, and multi-talented. We both studied with the same figure skating coach. I still have a well worn copy of the book he wrote that features photos of her from many years ago. My condolences to all of her friends and family.

I am so sad to read this. Robin was a teacher, a colleague and a student in the Laban program when I was teaching in it. Sending love to her family.

Robin was, more than anyone, responsible for getting me involved with Young Audiences in Atlanta. We developed a performance together, using a giant shadow scrim and her wide-angled projection lens, that we toured intermittently for many years that was about the overlap of dance and sculpture. She was also the choreographer for the most ambitious project that I directed at the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta. When I was running a public art project in West Baltimore nine years ago she arranged for me to stay part of the time at her sister's house. She was always pushing her creative edge and always generous and supportive to other artists.

So sorry to read this news. Loved dancing with Robin and being a part of her wonderful choreography many years ago. Many memories of laughter filled rehearsals and dynamic work.

Thanks for introducing me to the world of Dance in Baltimore. I loved working with you and the Naked Feet Dance Co. Your art took many forms and all of them were beautiful.
