Judy Rogers

Judy’s interest in drawing began early. Her dad was a drafting and woodworking teacher in Andrews High School and so teaching Judy how to draw houses in perspective was a natural way to introduce her to art. Judy has a BFA in Art Education at Texas Tech and later she completed a Masters in Studio Art at West Texas A&M. She credits her love of color to studying under Amarillo, artist, Jack Sorenson. When she exchanged oils for acrylics, she began studying each year with Santa Fe and Carmel acrylic painter, William Hook.

Judy’s subjects range from New Mexico landscapes to florals to California missions. Each year, Judy designs a Santa that have become part of many families’ collections.

Judy is married to Steve Rogers and they have two married sons and eight grandchildren who have begun to share her passion for art! She feels very blessed to have art as a way of expressing how God’s blessings surround us each day.

Judy Rogers Art can be seen at The Right Angle and
Cerulean Gallery in Amarillo, Texas.

Chris Johnson

Chris Johnson was born and raised in West Texas, and although I grew up in a broken home, I was blessed with a family who supported my talent and interest in art and explained that it was a gift from God. While small and attending church I would squirm as all children do, and my mother would take an invitation from the back of a pew and dig out a pencil and tell me to draw. I joke that had she not done that I might have become a better Christian, but I believe I am doing what god wanted me to do with this gift. As I became older, I became more and more appreciative to God for the chance to use his gift in a way that he would want me to utilize it. I felt that in all aspects of life, the gift was more than producing art, but also in how I should interact with others regardless of other measure of success. Recently I became painting spirit based themes, but always with the fear and dilemma of trying to produce a work that would in my small way thank God for the opportunity.

I attended public schools in Lubbock, Texas, and attended Texas Tech University before and after I served in the Air Force. While attending Texas Tech University I was introduced to many fine and outstanding artist of different regions and experiences. I studied in El Paso with Roseanne Orndorff, and Ann Stewart and Jack Hill of Amarillo, and workshops with Ramón Kelly, Jack Sorenson and Ron Chapman.

When you sit down to do a short bio, you discover how imposing a task it can be. You can give the basic facts, but it is hard to tell someone about the personality, the nuisances that make up your being. Art can be like the bio, in that, each of us interprets what we see based on our past experiences, you can feel what the artist is trying to say with some work, but it just comes down to our own feeling about a piece. After all, as artist’s, through our work, we are trying to make a connection with another people. Hopefully, we never stop trying to make that connection.

Owned and operated by Vickie Sprouse of Canyon, TX, “The best part about the business, besides the opportunity to enjoy the fantastic talents of these artists every day, is when someone really connects with a certain piece, when the subject matter really grabs their heart. Maybe it brings up a memory from childhood, or reminds them of their favorite buckskin gelding, or makes them think about those special moments with family and friends.”If you have any questions about the art, give me a call; the Reata Gallery number is 575-649-0636.
