Countdown


My show is just around the corner! Check out Telluride Arts for more info,\ &  show description.
The following is a statement about my process and ideas. It was edited heavily for the masses, but I thought i'd share my unadulterated version for you guys as well. always a challenge to be honest yet accessible.
I so look forward to sharing the show with you. stay tuned!

Press release version.


heaven
earth

Stephanie Morgan Rogers

inspiration :  I have always been fascinated by the sky and where it meets the earth and where we fit in as people fleeting from one realm to the next.  History, dreams , folklore and mythology a have always inspired and provided me with the framework for my version of these timeless wonders.

Processes:  the ideas for work are always with me and part of how I make sense of where I am, and what I’m doing quite literally, on earth! always starts with a feeling like I’m on a hunt spurred on by imagery that pulls me in , beckoning me to take a second look , challenging me to find the next clue where then my own imagery starts to reveal itself. It’s as if the work calls me to give to it life…my job is to listen and take good notes and tell the story visually.

Meaning: Heaven and Earth concept is about dichotomies  - What’s visible and what’s unseen. As above so below and so on. I’m not so much interested in the black and the white but the grey – that magical intersection where the 2 realms mix. 

Characters/ Imagery:  I am interested in rural life,  “salt of the earth” daily work and how the seasons affect that work and the relationships between people, animals, weather etc...living close to the land gives me a unique perspective.   

My work has been described as a seamless blend of Old World ambience and American Folk Art – which I think says it all.  Although I move around and use different media – and in this show – giant tin shapes inspired by 15th century ex votos – my work continues to explore the endless possiblities of making sense out of life, here on earth.

Enjoy the journey

Home

I can't believe its the Holidays again. We have our heads down focused on the present.
 Thanksgiving came and went...a tradition of elaborate cooking and baking, feasting and sharing

 Eventhough we are experiencing a dry snow-less holiday, it is cold, and i drink ALOT of Earl Grey tea
Morgan and I made our traditional spritz cookies gluten-free...a friend told me they tasted like sand.
Meet the newest addition to my prized collection of kid created creatures...Mr. Turkey by Morgan

"dad! you have pie in your hair! "....
now that's a sign of a good time :)

Working on 10 LORDS A LEAPING for a month long show in Telluride as well as a delivery of new
art for Over the Moon  where I am the feature artist! 
2 more art/craft fairs this week 
Then, all this orange and yellow will give way to pine and  sparkle.

Little Red Riding Hood - Drawing Challenge


I finally did it, joined in on the Drawing Challenge, albeit a few days late.
This weeks theme: Littel Red Riding Hood hosted by Patrice.



I've been scribbling about this for years....


inspired by my own childhood classics
And into my grown up life living at the edge of a great wood...In my fairy tale, the beast is a misunderstood friend and it is he who is terrified of the girl!

someday i will write and illustrate it.

what is your take on this tale?

where for art thou?

dear people,
I have been silent
inside
working




sometimes 
it just doesn't feel right
to come up
and share

Berta

its just the nature
of diving deep down
to see what i can see
                                                                               
its cold at the Art Farm

winter's beckoning 
to turn inward
clothe the seeds
safe and warm...

.....and wait for the magnificent birth


i hold you all close in my heart,
xo milady

Progress...




holy moly, how time flies. its snowed lastnight and made me realize just exactly how much time had passed since I last posted!  illness, busy-ness and a crappy computer are all to blame.  as the holidays approach, craftiness trumps studio art. life goes on, middle boy goes to first dance and first born gets
accepted and offered $ to go to University. mama needs to make alot of crafts!!!

im working on a large commission that's too shy to show just yet.

life is nothing but full

wishing you all warm autumn love,

xo milady







i am working on a large commission that is just too shy to show itself just yet.

i hope you are enjoying the autumn changes and bundling up against the promise of more snow!

Peekaboo

Yes, it's me. I'm alive!  Art fairs, farmer's markets, commissions and outdoor wonderland have kept me away from my desk.  All this with a dollop of Crohn's disease. ; /
I have missed all of you.
Here's a peek for now.
an angel came to visit me in my booth at Carbondale Art Fair.

some of my latest Art Blocks - will be available in Etsy after this week.


lots os speckled fawns this year

The Art Farm looking back- my 3 sidekicks, Pearl, Ollie, and Blue (who is red)

The Art Farm looking ahead- this is my front yard with a skipping little 5 year old friend.
