Artist Bio:

Robin Michals is a photographer whose work focuses on environmental issues. Her series Our Neighborhood juxtaposes sites of residential life in cities and towns across the US with the infrastructure of the petrochemical industry. This work was most recently exhibited at St. Francis University in Philadelphia and in a two-person show, Industrial Sights, with the Chicago-based photographer Matthew Kaplan, at the Marshall J. Gardener Center for the Arts in Gary, Indiana. Images from Our Neighborhood were also part of the 8th Edition of THE FENCE in 2019-2020, and in group shows at David Orton Gallery, the Texas Photographic Society, and in Newsweek Japan and F-Stop and Float magazines. The series was selected for Critical Mass Top 50 in 2019. In 2020, as one of the winners of the 7th Tokyo International Photography Competition, images from Our Neighborhood were exhibited at Photoville, Brooklyn, NY, the T3 Photo Festival, Tokyo, Japan, and PhotoIreland Festival at The Library Project, Dublin, Ireland. She teaches photography at New York City College of Technology, City University of New York (CUNY) and lives in Brooklyn.
