Biographies

Roberts is an exhibiting artist, community artist and interactive publisher. She has created films and animations, produced exhibitions, and been involved in several performances over a long career beginning in the early 1970s.

Roberts completed her Dip. Art, Dip. Ed, Grad. Dip. Film & TV, and M.A. Animation and Interactive Media. Most of her studies were undertaken in Melbourne.

Over the course of her career Roberts has received several grants, prizes and scholarships, including the National Gallery Drawing Prize (1971); three Australian Film Commission grants (1981, 1991, 1994); and the Melbourne Fringe Festival Special Commendation Award for New Short Works (1995).

Roberts has received funding from the Australia Council to produce art work for exhibition. She has also worked as a lecturer, animator, illustrator, judge in film awards, assessor, curator and artist in residence (Manangatang, 1992, Wesley College, 1994, Scotch Oakburn College, 1997, Launceston College, 1998, and on the Aurora Australis, V7, to Davis and Mawson, Antarctica, 2002).

As a result of her residency in Antarctica, as part of the Australian Antarctic Division Humanities Programme, she developed an interactive CDROM and other art works for exhibition at New Parliament House, Canberra (Aust.) Much of this work is held at the Australian Antarctic Division headquarters in Kingston, Tasmania. Her PhD thesis 'Antarctic Animation: Expanding Perceptions with Gesture and Line' was submitted to the University of New South Wales in April 2010.

Roberts' work is held in a variety of places, including the University of Melbourne, what was the State bank of Victoria, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Wesley College (Melbourne), Queensland University of Technology, the Victorian College of the Arts, and Launceston General Hospital, where she was a member of the Launceston General Hospital Visual Arts Committee in 2004. In 2005, Roberts worked as a full time teacher of Art and English at the Conservatorium High School, Sydney. Since then she has participated in exhibitions and conferences on Antarctic art and science, in Sydney (Aust.) 2006, Buenos Aires (BA) 2008, Christchurch (NZ) 2008, and Hobart (Aust.) 2010. Her current work is with scientists at the Australian Antarctic information about climate change.
