Mary Ann Rogers
British Watercolour Artist
Newcastle to New York, Hong Kong to Edinburgh, her international
appeal has seen Mary Ann Rogers exhibiting around the world with
a natural budding enthusiasm.
Publishing her own work and voted
by members of the Fine Art Trade Guild into the top ten living
artists in print in 2003, Mary Ann Rogers is a solid choice for
lovers of energetic British watercolours.
“First to admit to living in
an ideal environment for painting, Mary Ann Rogers is not only
driven by the landscape of Northumberland, but surrounds herself
with a menagerie of unwitting models for her work.
It is the moment, which counts -
the dark cloud over the sunlit fields; a look of aggression; the
burst of speed. An artist who has always understood the importance
of a lightening brush, and immersed herself in the physical act
of applying only the paint required to express that moment.
As a self-taught artist, the only
rules Mary Ann sets herself, apart from integrity of the line
and absolute freedom, concern quality of materials. Only the best,
100% acid free paper, and the most lightfast pigments are used
in paintings which may also have paint thrown at them, as well
as water sprayed from the garden hosepipe.”
Mary Ann's paintings and prints are
regularly exhibited in the UK and overseas, including the Royal
Watercolour Society.
