Roger Person and his girl pots
Roger Person, an eclectic artist, relocated his studio/gallery, Person to Person Art, to Siler City, North Carolina after a five year unsuccessful search throughout the southwest for a emerging art community. After reading about the North Carolina Art Incubator project and a visit to the area, a decision was easy and the process of relocation was underway with no looking back. In the past year, two buildings in the historic downtown have been purchased and renovated for galleries and studios. Twenty five of Roger’s large outdoor sculptures are installed at his new Siler City home.
Roger works in many mediums. His first work was in flat stained glass. Soon he added glass etching and carving, as well as wood, metal and clay sculpture and painting, to his repertoire of talents. His pieces are often combinations of various materials and mediums. His sculptures range in size from a few inches in diameter to sixteen feet in height. The large metal sculptures he designs are fabricated using his engineering drawings and patterns. Smaller sculptures are fabricated by the artist.
"I’ve always been curious about things," says Roger. "I’m always looking forward to doing something new and different." This exploration is evident not only in the mediums he chooses, but in the underlying emotions of his art. Some of his creations are profoundly inspiring, while others are uniquely and blatantly humorous.
Recently Roger purchased a combination press and has focused his interests on print making, monotypes being his new passion.
Roger feels that at this stage of his life art has allowed him to enjoy every day to its fullest. Art has been a wonderful avenue to meet new and interesting people. Roger says, "Art is universal and integral to all of us."
