Who We Are
Roberta Samuels started painting as a girl when she was invited to study with artist, Celia Lieberman, in Pittsburgh.
At Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, an influential teacher was Jack Burnham, a neon sculptor.
Roberta spent her junior year at the Sorbonne in Paris where she was fortunate to have a studio on the Boulevard Raspail near the Luxembourg Gardens, the inspirational neighborhood where many impressionist and school of Paris painters lived and worked.
After living for many years in the Chicago area where she was a member of the Evanston Art Center and Northshore Art League, Roberta moved to New York where she painted at the Art Students League and the 92nd Street Y.
She now divides her time between Sarasota, Florida and Montpezat de Quercy in the southwest of France.
Her paintings have won awards in curated exhibitions. She has had shows in New York, NY, New Delhi, India, Roanoke, Va, Venice and Sarasota, FL. Her paintings are in several private collections in the U.S. and abroad.
