Robinette works with both written and visual languages. She works mainly in oil and acrylic, uses vibrant colors, and often includes her original poetry in her small and medium-scale paintings.

"Feed the Hungry"

Her first poem paintings were inspired by a technique that her mother taught her, in which she scrapes acrylic paint across paper and then writes poetry onto the paper. She also likes to experiment with other techniques, such as painting with oils.

"Auntie Elephant"

Robinette is self-taught. She says that growing up around artists such as her mother, aunt and sister strongly influenced her artistic endeavors.
"It was all around me," she said. "It was fairly natural for me to pick up on that."
