St. Michaels by Jennifer Smith Rogers

As part of a reputable family of artists, Jennifer has established herself as a fixture of the Charleston art scene. The paintings in the show depict two facets of the world surrounding her: the primitive, natural Lowcountry landscape and the more formal notable architecture that is characteristic of her native city. Most well-know for her paintings of Charleston’s canopy of rooftops, iconic street scenes, and the historic churches, Jennifer is equally adept at depicting the area’s alluring beaches, meandering creeks, and serene marsh scenes. Her favorite time to paint is in the late afternoon or early evening as she loves to use vibrant warm colors to create an interplay of light and shadow in her landscape and cityscape canvases.
