Julia Rogers Growing
up on the Chesapeake Bay has had a strong influence on Julia Rogers.
Being an artist and painting nature was inevitable. With a mother
who is an artist, and a father who is a sportsman and a wildlife
enthusiast, it's not surprising that she began drawing landscapes and
animals at a very young age. She excelled in art in high school, and
was placed in college as a Fine Arts major before graduating from high
school. Rogers paints a wide variety of subjects. Her
extensive travel is documented in her work. "I've had many
periods of growth that can be attributed to a change of media or from
travel," explains Julia. Africa has been very inspirational in
her work, and has become a personal favorite. Rogers is a member of
the Society of Animal Artists and has participated in their annual
exhibits. Her work is included in many important collections around the
world, including the Tom and Mary James/Raymond James Financial Art
Collection. Julia's work has been featured in several national
magazines, including: Informart Magazine, 1998; Sporting
Classics, Nov/Dec 1998; Africa Issue, 2000; Wildlife Art News,
March/April 2000. Julia will be a featured artist at the "5th
Annual Wildlife & Western Visions Art Show and Sale" on April
24th and 25th, 2004, in St. Petersburg, Florida. Call or email the
Plainsmen Gallery for more information about the show, or about Julia's
