My name is Roberta Schmidt, but my nickname is Lucy, a name my Dad gave me when I was a little girl. I am an artist, photographer, poet, gardener, hummer of tunes, lover of castles (and dark chocolate with sea salt!).
I paint, I draw, I sew, I collage, I am a lover of all kinds of creativity. Thank you for coming to my website, where I share a mix of all things I love.
What’s new for 2025? I am in the middle of some big projects, but I started off the year “tiny”. I worked on a 100 day project. Would you like to see them? They are all in my brand new Art Shop here on my website. Take a look!
My newest pieces are created from my deep love of color, “dancing brushstrokes”, and the freedom to create from my heart.
Inspiration for making art, comes from the things I see around me daily, as well as life’s experiences. I have a deep love for drawing, painting on canvas and wood panels, mixed media art, creating with an iPad, sculpting paper clay….I am constantly learning. Artists of the past, such as Matisse, Monet, and van Gogh, inspire me to create boldly and with lots of color. My art contemporaries encourage me daily to explore art in many forms. Making art brings such joy to my life. Thank you for allowing me share my art with you!
