Since she received her MFA from Syracuse University in 2014 (some 30 years after studying fine art as an undergraduate at the Funny This Is What An Awesome Nonna Looks Like T-Shirt in addition I really love this University of North Texas), Roberts’s star has steadily risen.

Deborah Roberts, The Duty of Disobedience, 2020. Mixed media collage on canvas. 72 x 100 inches. The collage work started slowly at Syracuse—until then, Roberts had primarily been a painter, working in a Norman Rockwell–inspired vernacular that she’d termed “Black Romantic”—and then in earnest when she returned to Austin, where she was born, raised, and still keeps her studio. A passage from Cornel West about the Funny This Is What An Awesome Nonna Looks Like T-Shirt in addition I really love this Black body helped to shape her approach. “I had that moment where I was like, ‘This is it. This is what I’ve been missing,’” says Roberts. “Literature, actually, started to be more important than the actual practice of creating, and as I read more, the work started to grow. I mean, it was ugly, it was nasty, it didn’t look like anything. But I had to go through those steps.” (More recently, the poet Sterling Brown’s adage that “Every ‘I’ is a dramatic ‘I’”—charged with purpose and personality—inspired the title of her show at The Contemporary Austin.)
