Roberta Marks has moved among several mediums of expression
since earning her BFA and MFA degrees: painting, clay, constructions,
collage, and sculpture. Her recent travels to Asia have greatly
influenced her new work, which contains deliberately mixed
religious imagery. She writes, “Making art is like breathing…it
is a step towards understanding. The joy comes in the moment
of discovery when you can see with clarity who and where you
are.” Marks lives in Key West, Florida.
