Roberta Rogers will lead us on a journey through the seasons, as she takes one landscape and stretches it beyond normal ways of thinking. She will transform it three different ways using color and light to reflect the transition from one season to the next. Roberta will show us how she uses vibrant color in her work and will explore various watercolor techniques. Ultimately she will share her insight on how to paint outside the box to produce a freer more expressive landscape.

Roberta is a third-generation watercolorist. She received her M.A. in Art from California State University at Fresno State. She continued her education, studying under Frank Webb, Don Andrews, and many others, including Robert Burridge. For 25 years she taught watercolor painting at Coconino Community College in Flagstaff.

She has been painting full-time for the past 35 years. Watercolor landscapes of the Southwest and historic architecture are favorite subjects. Her love of painting can be seen with her refreshing use of color, attention to detail, and remarkable views of her subjects.

Calling Arizona home since 1970, she lived in Flagstaff for 30 years and currently lives in Tubac. Roberta works in her home studio and is represented by Tubac Art and Gifts. She continues to teach watercolor painting at Tubac Center for the Arts and CPAC.
