Robbi Behr was born and raised in a small town on the eastern shore of Maryland and the Alaskan wilderness.
She learning the enigmatic ways of the average japanese-american in the first, and of the hardy commercial salmon fisherman in the second.
Her third grade art teacher, Ms. Chauvenet, taught her to love art ("strretch your imaginations!"), and her ninth grade art teacher (left unnamed) taught her to hate it ("you should have used purple"). She got her MFA in illustration.
Though her work is often messy, much of it comes from a surprisingly dark place which baffles even her, as she is often described as "awfully smiley."
