Barbara Rogers Documentary

Tucson artist Barbara Rogers, who is featured in the UAMA's permanent collection and Archive of Visual Arts, was the subject of a recent Arizona Illustrated piece titled “Barbara Rogers: Painter of Paradise, Vulnerability and Beauty.”

For Rogers, painting is just another truth. Her work explores ideas of paradise, destruction, vulnerability and beauty — evoking the sublime. She paints to transcend daily life, and hopes her work reminds others to cherish the earth.

This mini-documentary explores the life and legacy of a prolific local artist. Enjoy!
