Roger was born in 1941 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  He studied comparative literature at the University of Wisconsin, followed by theater study at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City and The McCarter Theater of Princeton University.  Roger then spent two years abroad living and traveling in France and England; and traveled and worked extensively in major arts centers in Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Mexico. 

Since 1969 Roger's paintings have been featured in one-person and group exhibitions throughout the United States and Abroad.  Roger currently resides in Williamsville, Vermont with his wife, Mary Welsh, who is also an artist, and their three children, Samuel, Rupert, and Louisa. 

In the Artist's Words:

"The images incorporated into my paintings are symbols of life, fertility, and repose: icons that have been an integral part of art in all cultures since primitive times.   I assemble these images in ways that highlight their natural beauty and abstract form.  Each painting is a synthesis of the varied cultural influences that have shaped my visual consciousness.  When these influences converge into a painting, the ordered complexity that results is intended to convey a simple message: reverence for life!"
