William (Bill) Rogers works out of his backyard studio in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. His art reflects his passions as well as his environment. Living in small town Nova Scotia in the 21st Century has the best of both worlds. He is close to all the plein air subjects he needs and the modern technology and travel allow him to be a part of the larger world and the world of fine art, that he lives and breathes.

He has participated in Plein Air Competitions and Events in Easton MD, San Angelo TX, Carmel CA, Frederick MD, Annapolis MD, Cumberland MD, Cape Ann MA, Door County WI, Port Angeles WA, Calloway Gardens GA, Bennington VT, Hamilton Bermuda, Wexford Ireland, and Castine ME among others and have been the recipient of numerous awards.

Bill is a multi-medium artist who works in watercolour, oil, drawing media, and printmaking. He occasionally use acrylics as well. His subject matter consists of plein air landscapes, figures from life, horses and horsepeople interacting, and anything else that catches his eye.

In May 2014, he served as the Royal Tour Artist for HRH Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall during their visit to Canada, a great honour and the thrill of a lifetime. A number of the completed works from the tour were selected by HRH the Prince of Wales for his collection.
