Colorado artist, Janet Schatzman collaborates with Oklahoma artist Roger Rose digitally translating and marketing Roger's original color pencil Native American designs.

Artist Roger Bruce Rose is Wichita-Caddo presently residing in Shawnee, OK. The Wichita-Caddo are located in the Anadarko, OK area, and are the only Native American tribes originally from Oklahoma. Roger spent his school years at Riverside Indian School, a Bureau of Indian Affairs federal boarding school in Anadarko, OK. After graduating high school, he served a four-year enlistment in the US Navy, and is a Vietnam era veteran. After military service, he attended Haskell Indian Junior College, now Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, KS. Roger’s unique style applies a modern interpretation to traditional Native art.

Janet’s vast client base includes but is not limited to Chevron, Cisco, Dell, Genentech, IRS, LucasArts, Hewlett Packard, Microsoft, MOHR Retail, NEA, Symantec, Unilever, US Mint, Walgreen's, Wiley Publishing, and most recently, The Creative Technology Center (CTC - a Los Angeles based virtual reality and immersive experience production studio). See more of Janet's corporate art at: https://janetschatzmanwork.myportfolio.com

Roger's original color pencil drawings are a unique, modern twist on classic Native American designs. The vibrant colors and complex intersecting lines invite the viewer to come closer and spend time examining the pathways. In the spirit of extending availability, Colorado digital artist, Janet Schatzman, converts the original drawings to illustrations in Adobe Illustrator and prints them on handmade rice paper, creating a look that resembles an antique artifact. All illustrations are framed traditionally and some are in shadow boxes that give an even greater sense of a treasured artifact.

Janet and Roger have teamed up to create a unique collection of original Native American art that can be viewed at https://rogerrose.myportfolio.com. These original collections can be found in galleries, festivals and art shows across the US and beyond. For more information please contact Janet by email at janetschatzman@mac.com
