About the Artist

From a young age, it was clear Roberta's first love was art. At the age of 9 years old, her mom signed me up for after-school art classes. When she was 10, she entered a tv guide ad contest and was chosen for art classes but was unable to take them because she was too young to enroll in their school. As Roberta continued to hone her craft, Roberta became interested in experimenting with different mediums and techniques. As she entered her teenage years, she would get hired to draw murals on kids' bedroom walls. In high school, some of her drawings were in the school exhibit. Roberta continue to draw and paint as she lived in Germany for two years after leaving college. Once she had her first child she placed her passion on the back burner only drawing and painting every once in a while. Not until 20 years later that Roberta revived her passion for the arts by writing her first book and selling her first painting. Since then Roberta has continued to exhibit and sell her paintings.
