"Steve specializes in traditional working boats of the Chesapeake and Atlantic Maritimes as well as local and regional landscapes."
Attraction Magazine
[Steve Rogers' exhibition] "The Waters Around Us presents a selection of carefully detailed, realist images of maritime subjects and views of Delaware coastal areas."
Delaware News
"Rogers' painting should also be viewed up-close. In a marshland scene he uses hundreds of brushstrokes, subtly blending color to put the viewer inside the landscape’s vastness."
Cape Gazette
"...the images present boats from a past of hard work and tough times. Other paintings of buildings, farmlands, and marshes, bear witness to our long farming, and seaside heritage. The artistic achievement, that is considerable, is the blending of these messages on a canvas that harnesses light and shadow to capture the dignity and pathos of these structures."
