Roberta Allen is a short story writer, novelist, memoirist, conceptual artist, sculptor, photographer, and creative writing instructor.
Language has been the inspiration for both her writing and her art.
In her conceptual works - which include drawings, collages, artist books, photo/text works, installations and digital prints - she explores how text informs or changes our perception of images, often with more than a hint of humor and a philosophical bent.
With dark humor, her books present characters at odds with themselves and others, sometimes in exotic locales.
