Roberta is a prairie girl who loves the understated beauty and big open skies of the
Canadian prairies where she lives with her husband and three children. Following a
career in Physical Therapy she transitioned to working with their family business and
as exploring art. She paints from her sunlit home studio in Saskatoon (or the deck at
Echo Bay!). Roberta paints simple, organic, abstract landscapes of places that hold
meaning for her. She offers original paintings, fine art prints, and home and paper
goods such as journals, notecards and ornaments.

I like to paint the “feeling” of a place rather than the details and often reference
memories of sounds, scents and emotions when I am painting. My art tends to be
quite simple compositionally, allowing the viewer to fill in their own story and connect
to emotions and memories of the places that hold meaning for them.
My art explores the connection we feel to land and the places that hold our history
and our hearts. The places that make us feel "at home". The quiet, stillness & subtle
beauty of my prairie home is reflected in my use of soft, tonal colour palettes,
horizontal lines, light and lots of texture. I also often incorporate soil from the places I
am painting into my work.
