Biography

Roberts was born in Milwaukee in 1978, the youngest of four children, but grew up in Sun Prairie, just outside Madison, both in Wisconsin.[1] She had a happy childhood with her family, but not so much at school, where her relationship with her classmates began to cause serious problems of depression and rejection of her own body from the age of eleven.

In high school, Roberts took many painting classes and later studied it officially at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2000) and Northwestern University (2002).[3] She later dedicated herself to teaching, at DePaul University (2005–2018), in Chicago, Illinois, in introductory drawing and figure drawing classes and the Art Institute of Chicago (2013–2021), in comics classes. Roberts already had autobiographical content on her blog, and intended to mix it with images in some way, but she didn't start comics until after a course with Aaron Renier organized by her husband, head of Animation at DePaul University.[4] [5]

Roberts is married to Scott Roberts, also a comic book artist, with whom she has a daughter named Finn.
