Well known in the art world, Robie has gained recognition for his work by the city of Miami in 1984, awarded by Dr. Perez Jr., Commissioner.

After formal training in surrealism, Robie developed an individual cosmic landscape style influenced by music and illustrations of album cover artists including illustrators of the British rock group Yes and science fiction artists. His style has been defined as Meta-Psychological-Cosmic, which is the art of the universe of the mind, and the illusion pf powerful colors, shapes, and vastness.
