Robbi Firestone is a contemporary American painter and conceptual artist whose lifelong practice spans two philosophically linked bodies of work: meditative paintings rooted in landscape and sky, and conceptual installations that deploy unconventional materials as instruments of social and ethical inquiry. She lives and works between New York City and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

"Robbi Firestone's Existential Snacks project is a brilliant contemporary extension of the longstanding tradition of Satirical Artworks. Innovative in her use of materials, Firestone's paintings/sculptures reveal a sense of humor, are clever and reveal a substantial insight into her subject matter which makes this series so successful."

Louis Grachos  ·  Executive Director, SITE Santa Fe

"You are telling a powerful story...this project may take on a life of its own and take years to unfold," drawing comparison to Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party.

Merry Scully  ·  Head of Curatorial Affairs & Curator of Contemporary Art, New Mexico Museum of Art

"A testament to the power of transforming personal pain into a benefit for the greater good."

Eva Borins  ·  President, New Mexico Chapter, National Museum of Women in the Arts

Before devoting herself fully to studio practice, Firestone built parallel careers across entertainment, advertising, and emerging technology spanning three decades. She served as Creative Director and founding NFT artist for Club FOMO; was a featured artist at Art Basel Miami and South by Southwest; and produced Web3 and metaverse art experiences internationally. Advertising and design credits include Art Director at Michael Friedman Publishers (HarperCollins), Creative Account Executive at Update Graphics, and Communications Director at TypoMedia, Mainz, Germany.

From 2015 to 2025 she founded and directed Santa Fe Art Classes, operating in formal partnership with the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. The program was voted TripAdvisor's Number One Painting Class for ten consecutive years. It closed in 2025 to allow full commitment to her fine art practice.
