Rita Roberts began her art career creating stunning and realistic landscape paintings with her unique style of palate knife painting. She is a founding member of the Oil Painters Society of America, and her landscapes, figurative drawings, and illustrations have been displayed and shown in many galleries in the Southwest in Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada. Aside from painting, she is an illustrator, author, screenwriter, and owns and operates a commercial and residential painting company in the San Luis Valley of Colorado.

In 2018 her artwork took a turn to the abstract where she began creating what she calls "Soul Circles" or Soul Portraits for clients, events, podcasts, and other publications.

This soul circle was gifted to Scott Schumacher, for his dog, Junebug, as one of her first intuitively channeled Circles for her clients' pets and animal companions. It was designed to be a wellness Circle, and was mounted above Junebug's food and water dishes while Scott was living in Northfield, Minnesota.
