Roberto Bertoia teaches sculpture classes at all levels as well as drawing and special topics. Bertoia has exhibited in national and international juried and invitational exhibitions. He has been commissioned by Winston-Salem State University and the University of Binghamton. He continues to experiment with site, context, material, and craft as it relates to his investigation of isolation, absence/presence at the intersection of sculpture, architecture, and design. Bertoia completed his B.F.A. in sculpture in 1978 at the University of Windsor-Ontario, and his M.F.A. in sculpture at Southern Illinois University in 1982, the year he began teaching at Cornell.
