Robin Hill is a sculptor, photographer and educator whose interdisciplinary practice explores the relationships between materials, perception and the transformation of everyday objects. Born in Houston, Texas, she earned her B.F.A. in 1977 from the Kansas City Art Institute. Working across sculpture, drawing, photography and installation, Hill transforms ordinary materials, including paper, plastic cups and found objects, into unexpected visual experiences. She joined the University of California, Davis, Art Studio faculty in 2001 and is a professor of art, teaching sculpture, drawing and interdisciplinary courses that encourage material experimentation. Her work has been exhibited at MoMA PS1, SculptureCenter, Crocker Art Museum and the Richard L. Nelson Gallery at UC Davis. She has received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, two Pollock-Krasner Foundation grants and two New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowships.
