Working in traditional darkroom while embracing the creative potential of the digital future, Roberta Sajda finds herself following a free flowing path between the two.
Paintings in oils and mixed media continue to allow her to speak to the world of the human condition. As a teacher of many media, Roberta continues to explore and grow as an artist. Her November Creativity workshop on Painting and Sculpture held in Carmel, Calif. was a huge success.
Large scale figurative painting from life is her passion. You will usually find a camera in her hands when she is not at her easel.
Roberta traveled twice as the guest of the US Embassy to Astana,Kasakhstan. There she was honored with a one-woman digital photography and painting show, "Touch the World", at the Museum of Contemporary Art. While in both Almaty and Astana she taught art to classes of disabled and disadvantaged children. These Master classes included teachers, parents, therapists, and college students as participants and observers.
