Roger is a self-taught local artist. With no formal training some critics have refered to the work as naive however his practice does reference influences in modern art at the turn of the 20th century and pocess a graphic uniform quality. Roger's work was very popular in the 60's and 70's, he exhibited at the Worcester Gallery on three occasions and was a mainstay at the MAC in Birmingham. He was well known amongst his peers and well regarded in reviews, he also has many works in private collections.
In recent years Roger has found it difficult to show his work in Worcester. It has been a frustrating period as the City is a focus of his work, which he regards as his main audience. He has never sought new networks or gallery representation.
