From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Janet Siegel Rogers (born May 1936 in Oak Park, Illinois) is an American artist and educator known for her encaustic painting. During her career, she has exhibited in national and international galleries and museums.[1] In addition to her work as an artist, Rogers has also created and led visual arts programs in Broward County, Florida and served as a consultant for the College Board's Advanced Placement Studio Art program.[1][2][3][4]

Early life and education

[edit]

Rogers was born in May 1936 in Oak Park, Illinois. She attended art classes at the Chicago Art Institute during her high school years[2] commuting from Arlington Heights, Illinois. Rogers earned her Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree from Denison University,[2] her Master of Arts (M.A.) from William Paterson University, and her Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from Pratt Institute.[2][3][5][6]

Career

[edit]

Rogers has had an extensive career as both an artist and educator. She has exhibited her work in numerous galleries and museums both nationally and internationally. Throughout her career, she developed a unique technique using a limited palette, creating colour interactions by mixing beeswax with paint, which allowed light to penetrate different levels of her work.[2][3][7][8]

Her career also extended into education, where she taught at every level from kindergarten through graduate school. She created the visual arts program for the performing arts magnet in Broward County, Florida, and was named Arts Teacher of the Year in 1984. Rogers has served as a consultant for the College Board in Advanced Placement Studio Art.[2][3][7][8]

She lived for six years in the Far East, an experience that has been noted to have influenced her aesthetic approach to art.[2][3][7][8][9][10]
