Mary RogersThe paintings from award-winning artist, Mary Rogers, tell the story of her life. Traveling is her second love, just behind holding a paint brush - so images of people, places, and objects from around the world find their way to the canvas. Her fine rt oils may be New England landscapes or Thailand seascapes, but her real passion is painting scenes from the American Southwest. "That's where my heart is," she says. "I don't just paint what I see, I paint what I feel." Mary's work has been featured in solo shows at galleries and cultural art centers, and selected for many juried shows such as the South Cobb Arts Alliance, and "Art of the Golden Generation" at Kennesaw State University. She has also won Gallery Awards and Best in Oils in national competitions. Some of the titles include: Tall Tales, Long Tail Boats of Krabi, Spur Squattin, These Boots are made for Working, The Dixon House, Just Might Rain, and Isabella of Kilkenny. The Booth Western Art Museum biennial member show in 2008 featured "Memories of Molly", this year (2010) "San Juan Bautista Mission" was chosen for the show. "Tall Tales" became Mary's signature painting - used in Douglasville Cultural Arts Council promotions and the 8th Annual Cowboy Poets Gathering, - and became the cover art for Country/Western CD "Cowboys and Campfires," by well-known singer/songwriter, Doc Stovall. "Spur Squattin" was also selected for show promotions for an Annual Cowboy Poets Gathering. Her skill with the brush is often praised in newspaper stories, and when Mary appeared at the Spirit of the West Festival by special invitation in Bald Hill Oklahoma, she was featured on a TV news report.
