Artists Talk with LVA: June 1, 2023

LaNia Roberts has been practicing art professionally for the past 12 years, from selling paintings while being an art student in the LVA Children’s Fine Art Classes program to Syracuse University, continuing studies with mentors in Florence, Italy, and in Louisville with Stan Squirewell.

“...persistently standing firm in my practice post-grad throughout an ongoing pandemic has proven to myself how serious I am to make my uncommon dreams to become a thriving contemporary artist come true.” 

LaNia is the recipient of the 2023 Bill Fischer Award for Visual Art, granted by The Community Foundation of Louisville in partnership with Louisville Visual Art.
