Herb Rogers - The Artist With A Heart and Purpose
Herb Rogers - Art With A Heart and Purpose
- Can you please share a little of your background? For example, where you are from and how your artwork ties into your culture or where you live.
I live in a place called Cossayuna,
N.Y. It’s just a few hops, skips, leaps
and jumps from Vermont. I live on a back-dirt road that can be tricky in the
winter. The post office doesn’t deliver mail because they say it’s too scary in
the winter months, but that’s ok because I can go check my mail at the post
office at 3 a.m. if I feel like it.

I have wild life all around me. I
guess that's where I come up with the idea to do wild life art. I can't really
say what gives me the notion ta create. I just woke up one morning back in December
of 2011 and had the yearning ta paint.

At first, I would paint just ta
paint but now I do art I call with a purpose. It’s usable and it has a cause.
- Do you actively seek out
opportunities or do you just go with the flow? Why? How is that working out for
you?
The only place I advertise the
art, is on face book and a few stores, creative works and rustic
charm you can find them both here on facebook.
- Do you find it difficult to price your work? Why?
I never find it hard to price my work.
I try to keep the prices low so the poor person can afford it. If they want a piece,
I let them take it and tell them to pay when they can.
- Which pieces are you most proud of? Why?
I guess the piece I’m most proud
of is the Elephant pot holder rack I made cause it's something my wife wanted.
- How do you feel after completing a project?
Before I get a piece finished, my
mind is working on what’s next. If I’m not working on art then it's a guitar, banjo
or key board.
