Artist's Statement
" "
Raised on a small farm in southern Michigan, he always loved the outdoors. Roger dreamed of being a wildlife artist as long as he could remember. The spark started as a youngster and flickered during his high school years. For a few years he found taxidermy and taxidermy manikin sculpting satisfied his appetite for art. He then took a 14 year sabbatical from art of any kind while raising a family, building a business and serving his church and community. Then in 2000 at the urging of his wife, Vicki, he picked up the clay again with an eye toward bronze sculpture.

“I love the look and feel of sculpted clay and the permanence of bronze. I find real beauty in the organic shapes and curves of a Bison’s back or a fawn’s ear. Then I strive to share what I learn from His creation with those who view my art.”

Smith was the featured artist for the autumn 2006 issue of Whisper in the Woods Nature Journal. His work has been chosen for the Ella Sharp Museum Fine Arts Competition and the International Exhibition on Animals in Art. In 2007 he was honored with a two man and solo showing at galleries in Loveland, CO and Bay Harbor, MI respectively. His Watchful Doe, life size is installed at the Creation Museum in Petersburg, KY. Since his debut exhibition in 2005 he has shown his work in numerous juried fine art shows in MI, NY, OH and SC.

Smith was born in Michigan, in 1960.
