I am a narrative artist drawn to human stories and the passage of time. Through collage, painting, printmaking, and book arts, I explore my enduring fascination with relationships, symbols, and cultural artifacts, illuminating their enduring significance in our lives.

Two ways to see my art this season
The Lake Oswego Open Studio Tour
It's over and done and it was fabulous!
Thanks to everyone who came to see me in the 4th annual Lake Oswego Open Studio Tour!
Loads of people came by, paged through my artist books, watched me make a book on site, and gazed at the cyanotypes I had on display. I had many discussions about creativity, materials and methods, and so much more. It was very gratifying and I appreciate each interaction I had.
I sold a few books, and am donating 20% of my profits to Hunger Fighters Oregon, my local food bank.
What We (Be)Hold
The Arts Council of Lake Oswego hosts an annual curated exhibition, and this year’s theme resonated deeply with me and the direction my art is taking. One of my newest cyanotypes is included in the show, and is on view at Artspace, the Art Council’s gallery, located in Lake Oswego City Hall.
There will be a special event to be held on October 22nd that I will attend. More information to come.
Show dates: August 7th— October 30th
Where: 380 A Ave. Lake Oswego, OR.
Gallery hours: Tuesday- Friday, 10am– 5pm
Belief on Green, 16x22 framed, cyanotype, watercolor, acrylic, metal leaf on paper
Describing the theme, Roberts writes:
“What We (Be)Hold embraces the spirit of what holds our focused attention, wonder, admiration, or spiritual contemplation, as well as what we keep, retain, or clutch close… What are we (be)holding? What or who is holding our attention? To what or whom are we beholden? How do we hold ourselves? How do we hold one another?”
