Janet Rogers Statement
“I love the qualities of watercolor – its fluid nature. To me, the interaction of artist with the medium is like a dance – full of motion, feeling and expression. I love to watch the painting develop and to discover new color and composition.
As a teacher, I would like to enable students to find their connections with watercolor in new and expressive ways.”
