Artist's Bio:
As a visual artist, Roberta Fineberg (RF) focuses on the themes of serendipity, inventiveness, the development of ideas and color fields for her mixed media works.

Recent creative projects, in 2023 RF conceived in the public space an interactive installation which spun from the ceiling, works on paper that she made
on the theme of women and the female body. From 2020-2023, RF was awarded 15 laurels from independent film festivals worldwide for her experimental smartphone video made during the pandemic, You Will Never Beat New York (2020).
