Robin Laws was born and raised in the farming and ranching community of Woodrow, Colorado near Brush. The area has been her family's home for several generations. She says: "I love the high plains, the wide open space, the subtle beauty of the grasslands where I've lived my life. I grew up here, so did my mother, her mother and her mother. The inspiration for my work, it's all right here."

Robin and her husband Myron, share a ranchland home near Cheyenne, Wyoming, with 3 Angora goats, 20 chickens, 5 geese, 4 ducks, 2 ponies, 2 horses, 8 cats, 1 dog and 3 much loved burros. Their animals and the wildlife of the surrounding plains and grasslands provide Robin with always-changing models for watercolor paintings and sculptures.

"I grew up with a deep appreciation and respect for the rural way of life and the animals that are an integral part of it," says Robin Laws, who enjoys participating in local cattle roundups each spring and fall.

Her work has appeared at many prestigious shows and exhibits in the country: The C.M. Russell Auction of Original Art, C.M. Russell Museum, Great Falls, Montana; Western Regional Art Show, Cheyenne, Wyoming; Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, Wausau, Wisconsin; Sculpture in the Park, Loveland, Colorado; Catherine Lorillard Wolfe Art Show, National Art Club, NYC; Salmagundi Club, NYC. In December 2003, her work will be exhibited in the Biennale in Florence, Italy.
