Biographyof Wilmington, Delaware, and Salt Lake City is a graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and has taught at the Kimball Art Center, the Bountiful Art Center, and the University of Utah, as well as privately. Roberson's best-known works are trompe l'oeil illusions of marvelous design and fascinating meaning. Her work is represented in the Utah State Collection, Utah State University, the Delaware Art Museum, the Springville Museum of Art, and numerous other collections. She joined the U of U's Department of Art part-time faculty in 1970. Roberson grew up in Delaware not more than twenty miles from the studio of N.C. Wyeth; later, at the Pennsylvania Academy, he studied painting with the object in mind of becoming an artist-illustrator. Moving to Romney, West Virginia, and then Salt Lake City in subsequent years, Roberson made one more move back East to Cumberland, Maryland, before permanently settling in the Salt Lake area. (b.
