Roberta Pruett Beasley has a BFA, and has painted most of her life. She was a studio artist at the Arlington Arts Center early in her career, and then returned to her studio life at the Artists' Atelier in Great Falls, VA around 2011. She has shown her work at the Washington Arts Club, and various local locations. Her studio is filled with works inspired by her love of the mountains and skies of the Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge, as well as the Southwest ares around Santa Fe, NM. Her works usually start off with the large expansive skies, painted in acrylic, the clouds reflecting the weather and time of day. Then, often paper is incorporated to create the landscapes and mountains.
