Born in Casper, Wyoming, Cecilia Robertson lived her early life in the American West: Wyoming, Colorado and Texas. She spent her school years in Louisiana and graduated from Rhodes College in Tennessee. Graduate studies and family ties brought her back to Texas where Cecilia enjoyed a twenty year career as a clinical psychologist in Fort Worth and Dallas.

During her first career she also prepared for her next- a career as artist- In 1992 she began fifteen years of focused study with painting teachers and mentors. Important teachers include Bob Rohm, Judy Pelt, Dennis Blagg, and Jill Carver of Texas, Skip Whitcomb of Colorado and Bill Gallen of New Mexico. Her career in art has returned her to the West where she lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Favorite painting experience: Seven nights of camping and seven days of painting on the floor of Canyon de Chelly, Arizona. A Navajo family provided meals and the horses we road daily to our painting locations. Campfires, stories and sleeping amidst wandering horses at night made for a memorable experience in painting magnificent landscape! Thank you to the Taos Art School for a fabulous journey!
