Greg A. Robinson

American (born 1957)

Greg A. Robinson is a member of the Chinook Nation located in Bay Center, Southwest Washington. He creates a variety of work in the style of the Chinookan peoples of the middle to lower Columbia River and Willapa Bay.
Robinson's sculptures are made with cedar wood, large stone, and bone. He draws inspiration and technical knowledge from the study of ancient works in private and museum collections. His paintings are contemporary interpretations of ancient story lines, and they are informed by the spiritual and shamanic aspects of his culture.
All of Robinson's work is a tribute to the Columbia River ancestors, to whom art, life, stories, and culture were inseparable. Through his art and instruction, he hopes to inspire future generations of Chinookan artisans.
