About the Artist

Forest Rogers, child of two painters, has been a professional artist all of her adult life. She received an MFA in Costume Design from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Forest applied her studies to an eclectic series of projects, from working with paleontologists to produce dinosaur model prototypes and other nature-related toys to painting liturgical murals. She is now focused on her own visions, with an emphasis on myth, fairy tale and the surreal. She expresses her ideas primarily in sculpture.

“ Winter Siren”: Roosts in the far north, deep in the wildwood, awaiting the return of the Sun.
