JAMES RODGERS' BIOGRAPHY

His initial artistic training took place at the renowned Art Student’s League of New York City where he studied with the classical master Frank Mason as well as attending the classes of noted painters Gregg Kreutz and Richard Pionk.  Mr. Rodgers is currently an active member of the Morris County Art Association, Morristown, N.J., Duchess County Art Association, Millbrook, N.Y., and Salmagundi Club, New York, N.Y.

Mr. Rodgers’ pursuit of the art of landscape painting and portraiture continued with Art Maynard of the Ridgewood Art Institute of New Jersey.  Never deviating from his original intention, he strives to apply his traditional, classical concept to the contemporary world around him, thus producing the synthesis he calls his own.

Over the years, James Rodgers has exhibited his work in galleries from Virginia to California and Maine to Mississippi.  He has been the recipient of numerous prestigious awards and his works can be found in corporate and private collections throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.

In the time-honored tradition of classical realism, Mr. Rodgers creates luminous images of those ephemeral moments in time of which he is a master observer.
