Roger Kipp

Artist Statement

Biography

Conveying the joy, happiness and love in life is what it’s all about. Roger wants his bright colors and happy flowers to make you smile every time you see his work. Having gardened for many years, he brings the exuberant shapes and striking colors from the garden to his paintings. Working in acrylics on wood panels he strives to project the wonder and pleasure found in nature.

After spending 30 years in the corporate world, Roger retired to Florida after living in New York and Connecticut. With this freedom he was able to indulge in his passion for design and art. Being self-taught in drawing and painting he dove into creating abstract works for his enjoyment. Life shifted when his long time partner was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and painting went on the back burner. With a new chapter in his life opening after his partner’s passing, art again became a main component of his life. When COVID struck, he began painting with a renewed passion with flowers as his focus to help express the joy there is in the world. His paintings encompass enchantment and jubilance sprinkled with whimsy and a bit of sophistication. He brings a simplicity and a playful lightheartedness to his work.
