Robin Wilson is a literary and visual artist based in Detr0it, Michigan.

Born in 1984, Robin Wilson is a native of Inkster, Michigan. She is an educator, artistpreneur, author and multidisciplinary visual artist. She is the author of two children’s picture books—” Mama Got Rhythm and Daddy Got Rhyme” and “Jazz-A-Bet: An Original Jazz Alphabet.” Her most recent work has been translated into Portuguese and published in Salvador, Brazil. It will soon be available in the United States.

Working in abstract, collage, and fiber, Robin's textile practice analyzes African American family traditions, historical lineages, and cultural inheritances through applications of memory, research, and storytelling. 

Robin creates what she calls crocheted story quilts that are a departure from conventional quilting practices. She combines the art of crocheting with traditional quilting techniques to create her own style of quilt making. She is a member of the Great Lakes African American Quilters Network, and her works have been displayed throughout Metro Detroit.
