Rosina Rogers (English, 1918-2011)

Biography

Rosina Rogers was a British artist from Dorset. She was born in Christchurch in 1918. Rogers was a largely figurative artist, working in a post-impressionist style, but in the 1960s she had an abstract period. This change in direction was inspired by her meeting Patrick Heron. He was her tutor at summer school in Ulchfort Manor, Wiltshire and became a close friend.

During the 1960s, Rosina Rogers looked to the St Ives abstract artists and must have spent time in Cornwall when she made the abstract painting depicting the Nine Maidens, an ancient monument consisting of nine megaliths. Rosina Rogers worked in oil paints, and collages and incorporated found materials into her abstract compositions. Her later work from the 1980s and 1990s is in a distinctive semi-abstract style, often depicting Dorset through landscape.

Rosina Rogers was a member of the Poole and East Dorset Art Society.
