In her own words:
Jeannie E. Roberts is an artist, a poet, photographer, and, most importantly, mom to a kind and talented adult son. She lives in an inspiring setting near Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, enjoys biking, walking, and, in summer, saving painted turtles basking on the road. When photographing, she focuses on the shapes, textures, and natural design elements found outdoors. Her photos appear in online journals, magazines, and print anthologies, including An Ariel Anthology, Anti-Heroin Chic, Blue Heron Review, Braided Way Magazine, Bramble Literary Magazine, Portage Magazine, Quill and Parchment, and elsewhere. She is the author of four poetry collections, the author and illustrator of two children’s books, and is poetry editor of the online literary magazine Halfway Down the Stairs.
