Originally from Nashville, Tennessee oil painter Roger Brown traveled and studied across the country. These experiences in addition to history, the natural world and architecture inspire his acclaimed oil paintings. Brown paints en plein air and has painted scenes across the country including still lifes and cityscapes. Brown’s artistic goal is to capture the essence of location, to make a viewer feel the color of the trees and the sun on a field.

Brown began his formal study of art and painting at Middle Tennessee State University. He then continued his training with artists: Dawn Witelaw, Scott Christensen, George Stickland and Ralph Oberg. Also, he studied the works of Edgar Payne, John F. Carlson and Andrew Wyeth. He is a member of The Chestnut Group, The Cumberland Society of Painters and Oil Painters of America and is president of Plein Air Painters of the Southeast.

Brown’s work is displayed in galleries across the country including the Oil Painters of America National Juried Exhibition, the Tennessee Art League, The Central South Juried Show and the Hendersonville Artist Guild.
