NY-based painter, Marie Roberts has been the subject of several documentary films including “Sideshow Picasso” by Marilyn Agrelo, and the 2015 “This Side of Dreamland” by Joshua Glick and Patrick Reagan. She is included in Coney Island Lost and Found by Charles Denson, City Lights: Tales of New York by Dan Barry, and in media as diverse as The New York Times and TLC’s Cake Boss. She is a professor of art at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

 

Artist's Statement:

Frances (and her room mates) are annoyed I have been using their (my) room in daytime to Zoom during the pandemic. Frances’ innovative take on life with roommates is a constant revelation of what a former stray, sick, disabled kitten can grow up to accomplish. Frances appears daily on IG @adventuresoffrances.”
