Atlanta artist Allen Rodgers started Painting in 1973 while living in New Orleans.  The charm of the city provided ample inspiration for both his portrail and landscapes. A later move to Savannah provided an opportunity to study privately with noted artist Augusta Oelschig who helped him with portraits and learning more about color. 

In 1977 allen moved to atlanta, which brought both inspiration and new opportunities. In 1982 he completed 28 original paintings for the penrod’s restaurant. This caught the eye of the atlanta braves organization and landed a commission to paint a portrait of manager Joe Torre for the cover of the media guide.

In 1995 a life changing decision was made to embark on a full time painting career. He co-owned a gallery in Buford, GA for six years and has never regretted his decision. His paintings are in both public and private collections throughout the United States. He has been teaching painting classes for the past eight years and is currently teaching one class a week in the Atlanta area. more information is available on his web site at……
