Hey, I'm Roben-Marie!


I’m a full-time mixed media artist, business builder, home baker, tech nerd and beach lover with a heart for helping my fellow creatives learn and grow.

My studio is my happy place, where you’ll find me playing with TONS of different mediums to create my signature layered collages and handmade art journals. (Yes, it gets messy in there.)

Creativity helps me express myself, find my authentic voice, and let the wild and fierce side of my soul run free.

That’s why I started The Roben’s Nest–because I want that for you, too! I hope you’ll join us for the journey.

Cheers,
Roben-Marie

Behind the Scenes

ROBEN-MARIE SMITH | COPYRIGHT Â© 2025

Roben Marie’s teaching style has always been consistent. I love her easy manner and step-by-step instructions. She makes me giggle and I feel like she is sitting in the same room with me. She is always innovative and accessible. Her lessons are just loads of fun! This woman is a jewel.

Susan Ogden

Roben-Marie has such a friendly, open teaching style. She makes it all seem so easy with well-edited videos and clear step-by-step instructions.

Valerie Orner

I love the way Roben-Marie teaches. Her videos are relaxed and welcoming, reminding us if it’s not quite right that’s okay.

MY COURSES ARE MOVING

Roben-Marie Studios is getting a new look! 

  My courses are currently moving to a new platform. My goal is to have everything moved by February 25 so you can access your courses and make new purchases. Once everything is moved and you’ve been added to all of your courses, you will receive an email with your log in details for the new platform. It will be really easy. I will also create a video for you, walking you through how to access and find your courses.

Thank you so much for your patience.  (And if you have any questions, concerns, or problems with the process, don’t hesitate to reach out and email us at support@robenmarie.com)
