In this interview, Bill Robbins talks about the tremendous influence of Clary Illian on his work. Robbins lives in easter Iowa and annually travels an arts festival circuit selling his work.
He built a studio and kiln on his rural property after converting some of the land to a wildlife prairie.

Robbins has an Andy Warhol quote on his refrigerator that sums up his philosophy to life and art: "I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own."
