About
Skye Rogers is an artist, art therapist, author and occasional curator. Skye admits she has been doodling since she was a very young kid. It was, she says, the only thing she was good at. A self-taught artist and writer, Skye has developed her creative style intuitively over the years.
Skye's creative styles vary widely, depending on the brief or what she's been staring at lately. To create an artwork that has its own integrity is upmost in her mind, however that is achieved; through watercolour, a digital app, collage, pen and ink or making something from scrap paper.
'Always', she says, 'There is the desire is to create something with emotional weight, something that will be enduring.'
Skye has primarily pursued illustration and design through her successful card and stationery company, ‘Skye's The Limit’ which was launched in 2007. Its charter has been to offer uniquely illustrated artwork that carries Skye's unique sense of style...
Skye conducts a variety of creative workshops, where she helps others discover their own inner artiste and develop a natural style from within. ‘Skye is very inspiring’ says Chris Chun, fellow designer and artist. ‘She really knows how to follow and share her passion’.
Skye is also the author of 5 non-fiction books: 'Jobs for the Girls', about women in small business,(Random House), 'thirtysomething' (Allen + Unwin) about women navigating their 30's, 'Bend of the River' (Lansdowne Press) a personal memoir co-authored with her mother, Jerry Rogers), 'Drink Me' (Harper Collins) a memoir, and most recently, 'Paper Bliss - projects and musings on life in the paper lane.'). 'Paper Bliss' brings together some of Skye’s great loves: writing, inspiring others and designing/making.
