INES's bio:

Roberts was born in Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland) and educated in Germany  and England. While living in Scotland, she joined a local camera club,  where she received much encouragement and support. After relocating to  Santa Barbara in 1966 with her husband and children, Roberts developed  rapidly as a self-taught nature photographer. Her images have been published as feature articles in London, Holland,  Germany, Japan, and the U.S. Mastering the difficult and demanding  technique of Cibachrome photographic printing, she went on to exhibit  these prints in many one-woman shows, both in the United States and  abroad. In a long list of international photographic contests, Roberts has  garnered major awards, including the Sierra Club Annual Contest and the  BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition. She is a member of  the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain, as well as a member of  the prestigious London Salon of Photography. The Salon website: http://www.londonsalon.orgSumming up her art, Roberts states that her deep love for our natural  world and her involvement in photography constantly enrich her life and  are some of the greatest gifts granted to her.

SOLVEIG's bio:

Born in Scotland and my family moved to Santa Barbara in 1966. The  events of the 1969 oil spill had a huge impact on my perception of the  world and my place in it from then on. That was when I was ten years  old. As a self taught painter I feel that my art holds as a bedrock this  environmental awareness and sensitivity. It informs my entire  relationship with nature. And yet when one is immersed in both the act  of painting a well as being in nature itself, there is something "other" that comes into play. Something deeper, more connected,  something one hopes is transmitted through the work and continues to  live on somehow. I would not have had access to some of these beautiful natural places if  it hadn't been for my Mother. Her passion to go to some of the places  she had seen or heard about, fueled my own adventurous spirit and  together we would go out to find them, to explore, absorb, and bring  back our impressions. Being out in the open like that, the two of us,  alone in these amazing places, this sense, this feeling was something we  respectively brought into our art.

Their work will be on view until April 30, 2024.
