Gail Roberts-Fields's Biography
Roberts' work has been exhibited at the Madison Art Center, Fresno Metropolitan Museum, California Center for the Arts Museum, and Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery. Her work has been critically reviewed in publications including Art in America and the New Art Examiner and she received numerous awards including a California Arts Council Fellowship. Recently, she was commissioned by the Port of San Diego to complete a 13' x 25' multi-paneled painting entitled Tree Lines located at the San Diego International Airport. She received her MA at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque.
For the past fourteen years, the conditions which continue to alter the landscape in Southern California have inspired her work Art critic Robert Pincus writes" She is exhorting us to see nature as a luminous mirror of our ceaseless obsession with mortality. The trees, streams and plants she renders exist near her house in Valley Center, a town in the rural northern reaches of San Diego County. Seeing nature wax and wane around her, she has become acutely aware of the fragility of life. Landscapes are radiant texts, if you take the time to learn how to read them. The notion is Emersonian or, if we look to the parallel in 19th-century American painting, Luminist. Roberts has become a vital artist in this tradition.
