Her photographs have been published as feature articles in magazines in the U.S, England, Mexico, Germany and Canada including Popular Photography, The Minolta Mirror, The PSA Journal, and Natur Photo of Germany.

I started in painting," Roberts says, "but it seemed to me that photography was all about seeing -- it was about constantly discovering. Wherever I go, I am an explorer.


Ines shared her slide-music program on her visit to Iceland at our last annual banquet and her wonderful images of that incredible landscape certainly make her the ideal judge for our topic in July 2011, “Earth Without the Hand of Man!”
