Best known for her vibrant and expressive use of acrylic paint and mixed media, Robie Benve expresses her creativity by utilizing paper, ink, markers, and fibers to craft pieces that embody the essence of her inspiration. Her work is characterized by the incorporation of intricate patterns and unique marks, resulting in a distinctive visual language that captures the imagination.

Born and raised in the culturally rich landscape of Italy, Benve stands as a testament to the transformative power of art. The first of her family to graduate from college, she earned an MBA from the University of Venice, Italy. In 2010, her journey led her to Columbus, Ohio, where she found the opportunity to pursue her artistic calling.

Over the years, her award-winning work has been exhibited in numerous exhibitions across Ohio. Her creations have found a home in private collections in the United States, Spain, and Italy.

She received several grants from the Greater Columbus Arts Council and has been an artist in residency at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center and in Padua, Italy.

Her commitment to fostering artistic expression extends beyond her personal creations. In her roles as the Art Coordinator at The Ohio State University Faculty Club, an active member of several art leagues, and a painting instructor, she plays an integral part in cultivating an environment that celebrates creativity and artistic exploration, providing guidance to fellow artists seeking to improve their skills.
