So
you're thinking, who is this Shenac Rogerson and
just how do you pronounce her name? It's 'Shee-na',
actually. I studied Graphic Design at Coventry and
on graduating pursued my career as a graphic
designer. This culminated in running my own business
for twelve years, until I came to my senses and
realised that what I really wanted to do was create
art rather than produce artwork.
With the
business sold, and with the eyes of someone seeing
something for the first time, I explore the colour
and shape of natural things and other everyday
objects. At school I was not renowned for sitting
still and quietly in class. Now, ironically, this is
exactly how I prefer to spend my time, experimenting
with inks to produce flower studies full of bold
colours and dramatic design. Once familiar objects
take on new and exciting forms in my work, as I
apply the perspective of a fresh pair of eyes. I
plan to develop this approach further into other
fields of artistic study. - Shenac Rogerson |
