Born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, Roger eventually moved to sunny California at the young age of 15. He sold his treasured '57 Corvette to pay for tuition at Los Angeles' prestigious Art Center School of Design. At the same time, he continued to study with many of the leading painters in California, where he consistently won awards for his paintings and illustrations in open art competitions.And he hasn't looked back. In 1991, Roger was recognized as one of America's foremost painters by Artist Magazine.
