Roberta Booth
Roberta Booth is known for her artistic exploration of metaphysics, colour, and psychological theories spanning a career of over thirty-five years. She studied at Luton School of Art (1964–6), followed by Coventry College of Art (1966–9), and the Royal College of Art (1969–72). Many of her early paintings from the 1960s and 70s feature anthropomorphised forms, whilst later works are more focused on colour, myth, and symbol.. Booth explained: ‘My art is the fruit of this journey bringing the mysteries back to the market place for others to share.’ Her paintings are often inspired by her extensive travel and exploration of world religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sufi mysticism. Colour theory is another interest, which has underpinned affiliations with the International Association of Colour and the publication of numerous texts, including a completed manuscript on colour and its power to evoke memory, aid transcendence, and heal the spirit. Booth had two exhibitions at New Hall/°Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï during her lifetime (2003 and 2012), and lectured at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge for over thirty years (1973–2007).
