Roth grew up in the historic whaling town of Cold Spring Harbor, NY, where the open vistas and estuaries of the eastern shores profoundly influenced his artistic sensibilities. This environment fostered a deep connection to landscape that resonates throughout his work. As a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Roth studied classical painting, from early Renaissance, Neoclassicism to Modernism. During his time at RISD, he developed a celebrated practice of drawing, which he continues today.
