THE MIXED MEDIA ART OF SALIDA ARTIST ROBERTA SMITH COMBINES COLLAGE, PIGMENTED PLASTER, FOUND OBJECTS, DRAWING, CALLIGRAPHY, GOLD LEAF AND TRADITIONAL PAINTING TECHNIQUES.
Inspired by the beauty of ancient frescoes and Renaissance drawings while also influenced by contemporary culture, Roberta creates images in which the timely is juxtaposed with the timeless.
”This work is born not only of talent but of honed skills, careful thought, and an open heart.
Good art is always this way; it’s not accidental.”
