Artist Statement
Within the context of wilderness and humanness, these paintings seek to place meaning on
what I see as privilege. It is an inner meaning, which honors wildness, the mystery, the
vastness, the matter and substance.
Artist Biography
Of French-Irish Canadian descent, Estelle Roberge is a native of Maine currently living and
teaching art in New Mexico. She studied at the Portland School of Art and the University of
Southern Maine, gaining a foundation in the arts, including photography. She has also taught
art here in the schools in Tropic, UT.
Heading West in 1992, she taught art in Arizona, then received an MFA in Painting at Idaho
State University. The desert spoke to her: "The desert is seen as barren and a wasteland. To
me, there's beauty. It's always changing. It's constantly becoming something else." A great
walker, she finds inspiration for her abstract paintings in the landscape and rock formations.
