The majority of Roger’s paintings are based on the effects of the changing light conditions of the sky, at different times of the day, during the different seasons of the year.
Roger is represented and has paintings in collections on both sides of the Atlantic, Spain, Portugal, United Arab Emirates, South America, Australia and Russia.

In September she organised an Art Exhibition/Auction raising the fantastic sum of 1,348 Euros. Sue recently purchased a sofa for Sara’s Retreat and would like the remainder of the funds to be used for flights for a family in 2012.
