Biography

Born in Kissimmee, Florida, Tim grew up very close to Walt Disney World. [http://www.tdrogerson.com/Bio.html] In fact, his father worked there as Show Director (the position responsible for managing and maintaining all of the live performances in the park) until the family moved to North Carolina. [http://www.world-wide-art.com/bio/Tim_Rogerson.html]

Eventually, however, Tim was able to move back to Florida and attended the Ringling School of Art and Design [ [http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:fGZjIdxoThUJ:www.ringling.edu/fileadmin/content/news/pdf/Perspectives_PresAnnualReport2006.pdf+2006+winter+olympics+Tim+Rogerson&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=13&gl=us&client=firefox-a Ringling School Magazine for Alumni and Friends] 2006: Volume II, Issue II] in Sarasota, where he majored in illustration. When asked about his time at art school, Tim says:

I was a very traditional art student and explored all works; from the old masters to modern art. My influences include Degas and John Singer Sargent...their work has allowed me to push the envelope with my own abstraction of life. [http://www.chuckjones.com/artists/tim_rogerson.php]
While studying at Ringling, Rogerson was awarded the 2003 Best Painter Award and in 2003 and 2004, he was awarded the Best of Ringling Award. [http://www.collectorseditions.com/disney/vitae.php?aID=521rogerson]

Rogerson's latest honor was awarded to him by the 2006 Winter Olympic Committee when they made him one of only a handful of Official Olympic Artists. [ [http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:fGZjIdxoThUJ:www.ringling.edu/fileadmin/content/news/pdf/Perspectives_PresAnnualReport2006.pdf+2006+winter+olympics+Tim+Rogerson&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=13&gl=us&client=firefox-a Ringling School Magazine for Alumni and Friends] 2006: Volume II, Issue II] When asked about the painting, [http://fineartlimited.com/images/olympics/2006/Rogerson.small.jpg"US Olympic Winter Team 2006,"] he says,

I wanted my painting for the Olympics to be an ode to the men and women who are competing; from the graceful glide of the ice skater to the speed of the bobsled to the determination of the downhill skier.

Tim now spends most of his time creating works of Disney Fine Art. The pieces he creates are a balanced mixture of Tim's varied style and the timeless Characters of Disney.

Style

At the heart of Tim Rogerson's style is his compulsion to reinvent it:

My work will always evolve, becoming more complex and detailed...I want my paintings to celebrate life and stay fresh...I try to stay away from the basic routine and technique because my joy for painting comes from the challenge of creating something entirely new.
