Scott Rogers

Scott Rogers has deep Christian roots, extending to his direct ancestor John Rogers, a Christian martyr burned at the stake in 1555 for translating and printing one of the first English Bibles. Scott began sculpting around 1990 and enjoys creating “multi-figure” pieces with careful research to ensure his depictions are historically accurate. He states, “Even though, for 20 years, my focus had been depicting ‘The Old West’, I knew the ultimate ‘multi-figured’ piece would be an original composition of: ‘The Last Supper’. I attempted to begin this sculpture on several occasions...only to tear it up...as I found I did not have the knowledge to pull it off. After gathering research for about 10 years (i.e. archeological, historical, spiritual, increasing my sculpting ability, and finding a good amount of time to set aside to work on it) I began this piece again in August of 2008 and finished it in December of 2009.” Scott states in a You Tube video about the sculpture: “I’ve learned that a great work of art will transcend form and go into the world of feeling. When you go into that world of feeling you can go into the divine, where a person can go inside themselves by looking at a work of art and a piece of them can heal.”
