Biografie
Marilyn Gottlieb-Roberts has been a prominent independent artist since the 1960s and currently resides in Miami Beach, Florida. Her academic background includes a Bachelor of Arts from Goddard College (1975) and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Miami’s Painting and Drawing program (1977). Marilyn had a distinguished career as a professor of Art and Art History at Miami Dade College, where she taught for 27 years (from 1980 to 2007). Her commitment to the arts extended internationally when she served as a Fulbright scholar at the University of Jos in Plateau, Nigeria, from 2000 to 2002.
Throughout her career, Marilyn has exhibited her work in prestigious venues, such as the Hayden Planetarium, Clocktower, and Exit Art in New York City; Harvard’s Carpenter Center for the Arts and Mobius Performance in Massachusetts; the Columbus Museum of Art in Georgia; the Birmingham Museum of Art in Alabama; and the Museum of Contemporary Art and Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art in South Florida.
In addition to her teaching and artistic endeavors, Marilyn published a book in 2017 titled “A Durable Table” through [NAME] Publications. The book documents her artistic reflections on constellations over the past 30 years, blending folklore, astronomy, mythology, and her own insights. She has also been working on a new project since the 1980s, a comic book format titled "A Durable Tale and Graphic Report with Almanacs," inspired by her childhood fascination with almanacs and her research into antique star lore during her Fulbright residency in Nigeria.
Marilyn’s artistic influence has impacted her former students, including the Florida-based artist Pablo Cano. She continues to live and work in Miami Beach, where she remains an active and vibrant contributor to the art world.
