Robin Okun

Artist Robin Okun draws on her background as a somatic psychotherapist to infuse vibrant color, body language, and movement into her modern expressionist paintings of women. "It's a privilege to co-create healing spaces with women as their narratives unfold, and we process them together," says Robin. Working from her light-filled Philadelphia loft, she draws inspiration from everything around her, from photographs and live models to her own imagination and instincts. Robin's studio life allows her to work on multiple paintings at once, embracing texture, pattern, line, and form through charcoal, acrylics, washes, brushes, rollers, and stencils. Outside of painting, she treasures time with family, friends, and her dog. She recharges through walking, dance, and group fitness classes, and enjoys psychologically rich movies and documentaries balanced with lighthearted humor.
