Janet
Rogers
trained at Reigate College of Art in England, and gained the Surrey Diploma
in Textile Design. She then worked for Heal
Fabrics in London and later spent six years working as Art Editor at an
Oxford publisher.
Her exhibitions include the Royal Academy
Summer Exhibition, where she was selected by the Financial Times as one of the most
promising newcomers, and the Royal Society of Miniatures Annual Exhibition at the Mall
Galleries in London.
She has held a one-woman show in France,
and her work is now sold extensively in the United States.
Janet Rogers' paintings have been purchased
by important private collectors all over the world, and she has received commissions for
galleries and interior designers in London, and throughout the UK.
The technique she uses in most of her work is that used by Samuel Palmer in the early 19th
Century, that of mixing gum arabic with water colour, applying it in layers and then
varnishing it.
This gives a unique three-dimensional
effect, which perfectly captures the feeling of the English countryside. Her style has a
timeless quality and the soft colours she uses complement and harmonize with any setting.
She has recently been specialising in
exciting abstracts, in mixed media with gold and silver leaf, and the unusual addition of
glass beads. Some of her most recent works are illustrated here.
Due to the success of her work, Janet
Rogers has been published by leading fine art publishers, and has seen several of her
paintings produced as limited edition prints, most of which are now sold out.
