Biography
Robison was an artist, designer, teacher and china painter. She was born in the United Kingdom to Martha and Charles Wingrove but adopted by David Robison, a farmer from Gisborne in New Zealand who retired to Nedlands. Joan Robison was a student of Flora Landells at Methodist Ladies College and later at her Maylands School of Art. She graduated from Perth Technical School with an Art Teacher’s Certificate in 1946 and exhibited with the Perth Society of Artists in 1947. She was basically a painter with an interest in china painting. At Perth Technical College Robison taught General Art, Design, Clay Modelling and Casting. She says of her time at the Tech that “the years of study were the beginning of a lifetime interest in the many forms of art.” Claude Hotchin wanted to buy her work but whether he succeeded is not known. In 1950 she exhibited a watercolour Grey Day, Guildford in the Art Competition at the Art Gallery of Western Australia. Writers: Dr Dorothy Erickson Date written: 2010 Last updated: 2011
