‘I would say more has changed in the last 25 years than has done in the previous maybe 200. He brought it back and I did several paintings. ‘I would definitely think about speaking to someone who is perhaps two steps ahead of you in their career – be bold and do that.’
Many of the subjects of Mary Ann’s paintings over the years have been unexpected, and that’s what she says is most exciting about what she does.
‘It continues to be important to have work displayed in galleries, but the way people look for art now is not as narrow as it used to be. It’s a fluid medium which takes on a bit of a life of its own in conjunction with pure white paper and water. If they wanted something for their house they would go to their local art gallery on the high street, or the framer, or a poster shop, or somewhere like Fenwick which would have an area devoted to art, whereas now they can simply go “I know I like abstract art” and just type “abstract” in.
It’s an investment in a particular artist.’
Mary Ann points out that art can be a lonely career, and she’s thankful for the support she’s received from others. Browse her originals, prints, card and gifts online at marogers.com.

About the artist:
Northumberland-based artist, Mary Ann Rogers, paints vibrant watercolour paintings full of energy, from an in-depth knowledge of her subject matter.
‘As a child I would always have a sketchbook and I would draw what I saw,’ she tells us.
‘Without gallery representation, back when I started, you’d find it extremely difficult to make any sort of a living. However over the years, and with the onset of the internet, it’s much more normal now for artists to not only create their work but to create their own careers and their own space within the ether,’ she reflects. Items over £500 have a £150 flat rate for packing and delivery, including insurance during transit.

The medium itself is fascinating to me, as well as the subjects. It’s been exciting to be there’
