Betty Roberts was born in Sewanee Tennessee and developed an interest in art at an early age. While living in the Cumberland Plateau area she also was, and still is interested in raising farm animals. Today she raises ducks, geese and chickens and enjoys them as pets, as most people enjoy their cats or dogs. The past few years she has been involved in the L and B gallery where she exhibits her paintings, sculptures, and jewelry. Her unique style of artwork reflects her appreciation of the local environment and the people and animals that inhabit it.
