A Model Boat Builder Paints Breathtaking, Realist Maritime Landscapes: Meet Artist Steve Rogers

Steve Rogers has an appreciation for history, tradition, and service. This, in addition to his lifelong fascination with the ocean, boatbuilders and, (as he refers to them) “watermen,” has resulted in an almost documentary feel to many of his works: his attention to detail related to the working waterfront is unparalleled. On today’s episode of Radio Maine, Steve talks about his rare, but much anticipated, childhood trips to the Jersey Shore where he first fell in love to access to the water, his time teaching model boat building at the legendary Wooden Boat School in Brooklin Maine, and his personal commitment to leadership and giving back to his community.  You’ll look at his work differently after listening to our conversation with Steve Rogers on Radio Maine.
