Working Boats The Marine Art of Steve Rogers

Working Boats,The Marine Art of Steve Rogers, is a collection of fifty-eight landscape paintings depicting working boats within the ebb and flow of the Chesapeake Bay and coastal Maine. Rogers' intricately-painted canvasses realistically illustrate the waterways and wildlife where crabbers, oystermen, lobstermen and fishermen live and work. By painstakingly capturing the beauty and simplicity of these ecologically-challenged environments, Rogers, who lives in Lewes, Delaware, presents his richly-textured maritime scenes as both recognition and preservation of the American watermen culture and heritage.

Steve Rogers is a signature member of the American Society of Marine Artist and an inductee to the Delaware Maritime Hall of Fame and a member of the Salmagundi Club. His work is avidly collected throughout Mid-Atlantic region. Rogers is represented by The Portland Art Gallery in Portland Maine and the Peninsula Gallery in Lewes, Delaware. Although self-taught, he has painted all his life and counts the Brandywine School and the New Hope School as major influences along with the Cos Cob impressionists.
