With youth, her work has been in public school settings, most recently as a San Francisco WritersCorp Writer in Residence at a school that serves the city’s Tenderloin neighborhood, where she led comic and graphic novel writing workshops to elementary school students.
Robyn is the August artist-in-residence for the Newnan ArtRez program.
