“The greatest compliment is having someone look at a painting and hear the bird calling in their mind, that is the true gift of art.”

In their words

“My wife and I have a passion for birding and were on the lookout for a special piece to have in our home. Robyn has a gift for capturing the best aspects of nature and created beautiful pictures of the Narina Trogon and Kingfisher. As birds migrate, so did these pieces with us to the UK and back to South Africa. They fill our home in the best way. We know that in the future we will likely collect more of Robyn’s work.”
Greg M · Hilton Narina Trogan and Kingfisher
“Thank you so much for our beautiful pangolin pic. We were so excited to gift it to my dad and he absolutely loves it! We will definitely be back to get more of your collection. And thank you for going out of your way to deliver it”
Leigh B Pangolin
“I'm an avid birder and photographer, and I fell in love with Robyn's beautiful paintings the moment I saw them. Robyn is a talented artist, with an amazing eye for detail and a great love for nature. This is evident in all of her work. One of my most prized paintings is from Robyn....a Tinkerbird original. Exquisite in every way.”
Mandy M · Ixopo Tinkerbird Original
