RECOGNITION

Elaine Rogers was born and raised in Norfolk, Virginia.
Elaine creates abstract paintings using cold wax and oil paint that contemplate color, structure, and metaphor through the process of painting. Her paintings reflect the constant flux in the natural world integrated with personal and current events. Elaine lived in Richmond,Virginia until she moved to Mount Juliet, Tennessee in 2024. Her work is in Capital One and the Robins Foundation corporate collections as well as numerous private collections.

Elaine earned her MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in painting and has exhibited her paintings nationally in group shows. She has had one-person shows in Richmond, Charlottesville, and Norfolk, Virginia. Elaine received a Virginia Museum Professional Fellowship in 1989 and is a former adjunct faculty member at the University of Richmond where she taught studio classes from 2001 through 2014. She has also taught at Virginia Commonwealth University, Collegiate schools, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts studio school. Elaine has been a member of artspace and 1708 Gallery in Richmond,VA.
