Roberta Parry studied as an art major at the University of Arizona at Tucson and at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu. Finding the need to help support a family, she changed her major to Education, with minors in Psychology and Fine Arts. She taught elementary students, college undergraduates, and in-service teachers; wrote curriculum materials; did a stint as a freelance editor; and finally settled as office manager of a pedodontic and orthodontic practice.
During this time, she wrote a short story collection FEMME TALES, four plays—two of which were produced—and four novels, all of which she pursued nights after work and on Sundays. Saturdays she kept her home together.
She has lived in Arizona, California, North Carolina, Indiana, New York City, Colorado and New Jersey. Now retired to Santa Fe, New Mexico, she is returning to her first love—painting. Her work was exhibited at the now-closed Arte Bella Gallery in Santa Fe.
A note from the artist, Roberta Parry:
Although I have attempted oil painting and am becoming more open to experimenting with gouache, my true affinity is with transparent watercolor. I love its spontaneity, its freedom of flow, the surprises and the challenge to master or at least control the independence of its gentle yet willful nature. I do still lifes now and then, but I am particularly attracted to landscapes. Color and light are the elements that most strike my sensuous core, and transparent watercolor seems for me to capture best the vibrancy and translucence of sky, earth, water and all that grows and travels therein.
