Dr. Robin D. Collin - My Natural Intuition - Clinic 1A & 1D Galleries

Dr. Robin D. Collin, DO is a primarily self-taught nature photographer and graphic artist currently based in North Carolina’s Research Triangle. She is a proud native of Newark, NJ. Her intuition and spiritual connection to nature manifests in her photography from restorative nature adventures in North Carolina, New Jersey, and abroad.

Dr. Collin is a former practicing, double board-certified Pediatrician and Internist who during the COVID pandemic pivoted into her art after suffering from health decline due to severe burnout and chronic stress. Her nature photography helped sustain her, emotionally and spiritually as she battled burnout in the fall of 2021. After retiring from full time practice, she started her art business, Lib Lune Creations. Her goal is to provide love-centered, nature photography and eclectic graphic art as visual support tools for the prevention and healing of severe stress and burnout in people of marginalized identities. At the intersection of being a black woman physician, patient, and artist, her desire is to share her artwork to provide compassion and respect in stressful, healthcare environments.
“My Natural Intuition” is a collection of images highlighting the beginning of my journey in learning to trust my intuition in the aftermath of severe burnout. When I left primary care practice, I felt defeated. In my path to healing my physical and mental wounds, I found a very profound and life changing solace in nature. I spent the year after exploring local North Carolina trails and parks photographing all the sights that inspired, awed, and affirmed my existence. These images are the moments of my journey when I felt free, empowered, and loved by nature. This collection of photos marks a transformative period in my life, and I hope that viewing them provides a sense of restoration and peace serving as a reminder of how meaningful and loved we are.
