I chose science, but never lost my love of art.鈥 While following a distinguished career in research and higher education, Rogerson continued his artistic pursuits as a painter and photographer. Rogerson鈥檚 landscape paintings, as well as highlighted works from the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Annual Student Competition, will be on display from May 9-31 at the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Art Gallery 1 in the Fine Arts Building.
