Roberta Warshaw Art and Design: Borderlandia

Sabino Canyon, originally uploaded by Roberta Warshaw.

We saw a fantastic glass exhibit today at the Tucson Museum of Art. called: Borderlandia: Cultural Topographies by Einar and Jamex de la Torre

If you ever have the opportunity to see these two brothers glass work, do it. They are so prolific and their work is just wonderful. It is smart, political, and funny all at the same time. The blown glass work has to be seen to be believed. All the people are anatomically correct right down to the blown glass penises.

Artist Statement

For most of my career as an artist I have been a painter. I have worked in pen and ink, watercolors, gouache, oils and acrylics. I have always painted the world around me in all its true splendor. For many years I lived in the tropics and painted the lush plant life that surrounded me. When I left the tropics and moved out into the country I painted landscapes of the local farms and my wonderful vegetable garden.

In the early 90’s I began a career in graphic design. I designed textbooks for both Pearson Education and Houghton Mifflin. Working as a graphic designer gave my work a new vision. I still painted and drew in my spare time as much as I could but in graphic design it is all about the software. I became a Photoshop whiz and specialized in digital artwork.

Thank you for looking at my work and please get in touch if you would like to purchase my work.
