| Nella Kowalow Rogers, AFCA, is a multiple award winning artist and a signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. She works in coloured pencil, graphite pencil, watercolour, gouache, and pen & ink. Her work varies in style as well as media: it may be brightly coloured, highly detailed, with a different slant on realism; it may be softly focused, loose or abstract; but a sense of humour lurks behind much of it. Her work has appeared on bookcovers, artcards, birthday calendar, and limited edition prints. |
