“I took my first plane to the USA as an art student in Edinburgh, landing in New York on a dark November evening. Everything looked familiar, yet this was a foreign country. The sky was bright blue above the brownstones, the taxis were yellow, it was freezing and I was ecstatic. I was compelled to start drawing: it was the start of a long-running obsession with drawing New York from life and I’ll always look back fondly at this little sketchbook as a kind of blueprint for the work I went on to do.” LR
Rogers works from life in the tradition of the artist as reporter, with a focus on cities including London, where she lives. She immerses herself in a place and records straight from eye to paper, which gives her drawings a particular spontaneity. Her book of New York drawings was published in 2019. Alongside her own work she has had a prolific illustration career working for press and publishing clients, including currently The New York Times and the Financial Times, often being sent out to draw on location.
