Born Persis Weaver in Des Moines, Iowa, she was the daughter of attorney James B. Weaver and sculptor Fayette Atkins Weaver. After completing her studies at Wells College, where her interests spanned French, theater, and literature, Robertson delved into the world of art. She honed her skills in lithography under the tutelage of Lowell Houser and Adrian Dornbush at the Stone City Art Colony and the Art Students Workshop in Des Moines. Married to Albert J. Robertson in 1918, the couple lived in various cities, finally settling in Bridgeport, Connecticut, where Persis spent her later years. Throughout her career, Robertson's work was showcased in esteemed institutions such as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Library of Congress, and the Brooklyn Museum. Her artistic prowess was also recognized in solo exhibitions, and she frequently garnered prizes at the Iowa State Fair art salon. An undated lithograph, "Front Door," remains part of the Smithsonian American Art Museum's collection.
