Diana Rogers is a Connecticut Plein Air artist. She energetically captures the change of Nature by surrounding herself with it year-round. As she creates, she feels its power and presence. She believes Nature’s inherent rhythms connect to our own lives if we embrace its gifts. By using the Plein Air process, Rogers’ senses are affected and heightened by Nature’s influences. Her medium is pastels. Vibrant colors and dynamic mark-making combine to capture Nature’s movement and energy. With the subject matter of New England’s land, sky, and water ways, Rogers hopes to shed light on the beautiful places that need protection.
