Birds of a Feather Artist Profile: Sarah Rogers

Sarah Rogers was born in Seattle, but raised with central Florida winters and Black Hills summers. Sarah's medium is watercolor, usually combined with graphite. She frequently applies several layers of heavy color to create the bright tones and often opaque quality of the paint. Sarah prefers smooth surfaces and uses hot pressed paper or plate smooth illustration board.

Sarah graduated from the University of Florida at Gainesville, worked as a graphic designer in Charleston, South Carolina, then moved on to New York City, where she spent seven years as an art director for an advertising agency. Sarah now lives and paints in the Northern Black Hills.

Birds of a Feather opens January 5 with an artists' reception from 6:00-8:00 p.m.
