Robyn Nesbitt (born 1984) is a South African artist currently living and working in Johannesburg. Nesbitt's work is distinguished by her meticulous observation of everyday events ranging from the ordinary routines of our life to the celestial routines that surround us. Humorous, poetic, and banal moments become stylized in mediums which include research, process, documentation, drawing, video, and photography. She often collaborates with Nina Barnett.
Nesbitt is a notable alumni from Witwatersrand University, Johannesburg.
