Artist Bio:
Julia A. Rogge sells her work throughout the United States. After a career in business, she expanded her life-long love of weekend sketching and studied fine art at The Art Students League and illustration at Parsons School of Design.
Rogge has exhibited her oil paintings at galleries in Pennsylvania's Poconos and had solo and group shows in Manhattan at the Cornell Medical Library, The Broome Street Gallery, the Cork Gallery in Lincoln Center, 2/20 Gallery, the Broadway Mall Community Center, and various New York Public Library branches.
Her realistic paintings of Central Park scenes almost always depict people engaged in recreational activities and often include familiar architectural landmarks. She views Central Park as a vast playground where people coexist with nature, and her exquisitely painted scenes express her depth of knowledge about and love for the Park. She also paints Pennsylvania's woodlands where she has a home and places where she travels as well.
Rogge's works in ink on paper resemble woodcuts and are highly individual, at once "scenic" and wryly abstract.
