Featured Student Artist: Morgan Rogers

My name is Morgan Rogers, I am fifteen years old and I started drawing when I was thirteen. I taught myself how to draw by studying other artwork and photographs and I have taken a lot of interest in photorealistic art. I was inspired to create my piece Serenity by a girl I saw once. She looked incredibly peaceful and calm, and I wanted to create a portrait that conveyed this same state of mind, thus resulting in Serenity! I currently continue to create many portraits and I have begun experimenting with oil paint. One of my goals for the future is to be a national medalist in the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. I also can’t wait to see what i will be able to create in the future!
