René Roberts has a broad background in the sciences and as a studio artist in glass, metal and photography. She has been an avid Photoshop user since its inception in the 1990’s, with an early focus on translating patterns from nature into photo etched metal. Her award-winning champlevé wall panels are inspired by her coastal landscape, and have been featured in LARK 500 Enamels and included in The Enamelist Society’s international exhibits. She’s been teaching Photoshop to metalsmiths and enamelists since 2003.
