Roth will be recognized at a banquet on March 27 at the Oklahoma History Center in Oklahoma City.  She will receive a DaVinci Medal and a monetary award at the banquet.  

A member of the OSU faculty since 2005, Roth has garnered national and international acclaim for her work.  Previous awards include the Wisconsin Arts Board Individual Artist Fellowship, Ludwig Vogelstein Foundation grant for painting and the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition Grant Art 365.
