Critics Comments –
“Rogers is an inspired landscapist whose work reflects an emotional reaction to a natural vista.”
“The slender trees that emerge from the white haze in Rogers snow study seem to shiver with the damp chill that pervades the
nearly abstract study.”
“It is easy to become spellbound in Rogers’ work.”
“In her practiced hands, Rogers’ images seem to simply flow from the oil paints.”
“Climatic effects take on magical overtones in Rogers’ work. Distant sheets of falling rain pick up rainbow tones
from ambient light, and appear to glow.”
“Rogers’ paintings are exotic, particularly her vividly articulated Rocky Mountain waterfall and “Moon Riders.” Tiny figures on
horseback are set in a vista so bare and rocky that it actually could be a moonscape, while an enormous rocky outcropping forms
a hard, firm backdrop for the abrupt waterfall in Rogers’ closely observed high-altitude study.”
“This painter understands oil paints and how to manipulate them on the canvas.”
“Ms Rogers applies her expertise of soothing colors, implied texture, and expressive tones to create enlightening temperament
within her paintings.”
