Angela Rogan is a visual artist working primarily in clay and oil on canvas. Via compositional space, color palette, and form, her practice explores the ways in which individual and shared experiences embed themselves in the complex relationship of choices made and not made over a lifetime.

Rogan received her BA in Fine Art with a Psychology minor from SUNY New Paltz before obtaining a MS in Art Education from Long Island University. In the interim between pursuing her degrees, she found fulfillment in helping others to achieve confidence, personal growth, and success, while deepening her understanding of gender roles and the human condition. She continues to develop her practice through studies with distinguished artists at Art on 30th, the Art Students League of New York, New York Studio School, and the Art League of Long Island. She has lived and worked in Huntington, New Paltz, Brooklyn, and San Diego.

As an art educator, Rogan invests her time and effort in researching, developing, and experimenting with new approaches, methods, and techniques across a variety of mediums to incorporate into her curricula. Committed to ever better pedagogy, she continues to expand the repertoire of materials and methods that are not regularly employed in her studio practice.

As an artist, Rogan seeks inspiration in what is difficult, grappling with the eternal problem of how to integrate disparate ideas and approaches while reckoning with the challenges of execution and process. Thinking and rethinking through concepts and their applicability to her story and her history is a quintessential part of her experience-based practice.

Currently, Rogan is researching the history of storytelling through the matriarchs and patriarchs of her family and how they reflect and contest societal and cultural norms - specifically, where, when, and how they tell their stories, as well as how these remembrances are processed and passed along to future generations. As a caregiver to her late mother and current caregiver to her father, she reckons with the enormity of how each passing day deprives us of the tapestry that is our own past if we are not actively engaged in preserving it through stories, art, and the human experience.
