ARTIST'S STATEMENT:
My life has now gone full circle.
After more than 20 years of scientific and medical research in three countries,
I have come back to my first love, art. There are many ways art and science are
related. Creativity and imagination are elements of both. Now I apply my love
of experimentation to works on paper and canvas.
Ideas play a part in my
paintings. I enjoy working in series, that is,
Certainly the most direct homage to Gauguin, Roberts not only borrows his
colors but his distinct style in the generic nature of the faces of the women,
and the amusing vignette of the cat chasing the chickens in the
background. Overall a great tribute to
her inspiration.
