Many of artist Sarah Rogers' subjects - wolves, bears, crows, horses - are familiar to her rural Wyoming neighbors; but the vibrant colors spring entirely from her imagination. The result has been described as "tropical western wildlife".
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. She 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.
