Bio:
Beginning her career in 2003 as an engineer, Robyn Suarine transitioned into IT and project management in Australia’s education and mining sectors, later expanding her expertise across Asia. Alongside her professional pursuits, she nurtured a passion for art, specialising in abstract expressionism, and became a dedicated yoga teacher.

During this time, Robyn gained valuable experience in the fine art industry, exhibiting her work in group and solo shows with international galleries. Her expertise extended to providing project and artistic support for creative businesses worldwide. Today, as an artist, Robyn focuses on using unconventional materials and performance art that transforms music into visual expressions through her alter ego, Jolene Maleficent.

Likes:
Morning dew. Peaceful sunrises and my yoga practice. Cuddles with my old Staffie, Mr Boy and my partner, Justin. Brookies Slow Gin mixed with Kombucha on hot days.
Dislikes:
Unbrewed tea that tastes only like milk – yuck. Any kind of violence. A wind so strong it blows you around. Working a standard “40 hour week” – also yuck. Travelling away too long from my lovely partner and dog.
