We talk about what it’s like to create art while living with chronic illness, and how limitations have shaped both her practice and her perspective. Robyn shares how art became a way to find her voice, to connect with others, and to make sense of her own experiences. We discuss the emotional power of small objects, the beauty of creating in a contained space, and the ways she’s built community through projects, Instagram, and her own miniature gallery. We also explore resilience, the lessons that come from rejection and illness, and how she navigates the tension between pushing herself creatively and taking care of her health. Robyn talks candidly about the challenges of sharing her work, asking for help, and finding ways to stay connected while honouring her own limits.
