Roberta Nosti

  
Although I stated painting with acrylic and watercolor on canvas, I love the spontaneous effects possible with painting on silk. To guide the color as well as letting the accidents lead to me is truly exciting.

The Chinese and Japanese painted on a scene-This has had a profound effect on my work.
