Tha Rupachitta Robertson na neach-ealain agus na snaigheadair a bhios a’ sealltainn ri cuspairean eachdraidheil, sòisealta, agus poilitigeach. Agus i ag obair le caochladh stuthan, bidh i a’ rannsachadh chuspairean leithid bochdainn nam bochd an dà chuid san 19mh linn agus san là a th’ ann an-diugh. An-dràsta, tha i ag obair air dealbhan-crèadha agus pròiseact air gàrraidhean nam bochd. Tha Rupachitta a’ teagasg tarraing aig An Lanntair ann an Steòrnabhagh. Tha an ceangal domhainn a th’ aice ri cànan is cultar na Gàidhlig a’ toirt buaidh mhòr air an obair aice, air a brosnachadh le bàird mar Iain Mac a’ Ghobhainn agus Ruaraidh MacThòmais. Tharraing an taisbeanadh mu dheireadh aice gu mòr bho dhàn MhicThòmais “Am Bodach-ròcais”.
