Robin Spry-Campbell (1922–2013) was a sculptor. She attended Skidmore College, where she was one of the youngest members of her freshman class studying arts education. In 1943, she enlisted in the U.S. Army, where she helped design weapons; however, she was an ardent civil rights and peace activist. She met her first husband, Bill Campbell, in Germany, and, upon returning to the United States, she participated in the WPA project and attended Cranbrook Academy of Art, MI. Spry-Campbell then accepted a position at the Putney School in Vermont, where she worked for 35 years. There she met and married her second husband, Jeffrey Campbell. She retired to upstate New York in 1985.
