The Ridge and More

Watercolors & Graphite Drawings by Maureen Rogers

On Display May 1 – 31, 2026
Join us for the Artist Reception on Saturday, May 2nd from 3-5pm

Artist Statement:

My art consists of watercolors and graphite work. With watercolor I want to capture the color and light of what is around me. With graphite I want to capture this complex world with a simple yet powerful tool, a pencil.

Many of my works are Hudson Valley images. Views of the Shawangunk Ridge, a landmark of New Paltz, is one of my favorite subjects.

This is my home. A lot of my life is caught in the scenes I paint. The landscape holds many memories. The best way to see and enjoy what I love is to paint it.

I came to New Paltz for college. It has been over fifty years and I still have not left. My husband Ed and I have raised our family here. Being part of the New Paltz community, enjoying activities such as biking, hiking, cross country skiing are reasons to live here and create works of art.
