Estelle L. Roberge grew up in Biddeford, Maine, the sixth of nine children, in a Franco-American Irish-Canadian household. The town was full of factories and triple decker tenement buildings, and she and her siblings played in the streets. After graduating from the nearby Portland School of Art in Printmaking and the University of Southern Maine in Art Education, Roberge traveled west in search of employment. In 1992, she began a teaching career at Navajo Community College in Tsaile, Arizona, a college dedicated to the preservation of Navajo traditional life. Later, she pursued an MFA at Idaho State University with a focus on wilderness desert landscapes in South Central Utah. After receiving a MFA degree in Painting, she taught in Maine and Utah for five years. Finally, she made a home in Magdalena, New Mexico, where she continues to reside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
