1st Blog-Introduction

  My name is Cara Roberts, I live in Fairbanks and have lived here since 1999. I am a senior at UAF College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences and hope to pursue my graduate degree in Fisheries and Ocean Sciences. I am a mother of 5 children and a first-time grandma to my grandson. I enjoy traveling to coastlines, I enjoy walks with my dog (in warmer weather of course), and I enjoy Chena Hotsprings.      I have a deep love for art, especially paintings by Akiane. I am in pottery, and this is my third semester taking the courses through UAF. I learned how to make Athabascan beadwork from my paternal grandmother when I was 11 and when I have time, I do beadwork. I love finding art pieces that speak to my spirit; I lost my youngest daughter in 2015, and feel as though she speaks through some art pieces that I come across. https://akiane.com/about-akiane/
