We had the good fortune of connecting with Robin Ogg and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Robin, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
I’m personally inspired by retro and vintage art, signs and architecture. I design my art with those elements in mind and I hope I’m bringing back the esthetic of that era in my work.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Our ability to create anything an individual can imagine with metal is what sets us apart. We have moved into 3D art this year and with my ability on the plasma table to develop designs that have not been cookie cutter created let the customer get a true one if a kind build. My husband and I work exclusively together and some days our creativity works in unison and some days we butt heads on design, however we always end up surprising ourselves with the outcome.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Welcome to Crockett! Located in the oldest county in Texas! So much history and adventure awaits you in Crockett. Located on the cusp of the Davy Crockett national Forest you’ll find great food, adventure, shopping and so much more! For local fair I’d visit Keisha’s Cafe or Cattleman’s restaurant, there are plenty of shopping options in the Historic Downtown, catch some live music at Camp Street Cafe or Bear Hall, lodge in one of many cabins on the lake at Crockett Family Resort or have an amazing experience at Larry Bruce Gardens.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want dedicate my shout out to a dear friend Terry Deeds. Terry as been an incredible friend and mentor over the last few years to both myself, my husband and my family. He has believed in our abilities as artists and has supported our work. I truly am grateful to have him as a friend and part of my family.
