Serena Rogers Art and Illustration Growing up in Yorkshire, I was inspired by my father, a hardworking engineer, who taught me the fundamentals of drawing and painting.

Multi-discipline Artist & Art Facilitator
1st year - MA Art Psychotherapy Student πŸŽ“

WINNER - Public Choice Award - Calderdale Open 2024 Trainee Art Psychotherapist - 1st Year student at Sheffield Hallam University

Graduate artist, based in Yorkshire, my art reflects the world around me, addressing pressing social issues and challenging the status quo. This early exposure ignited my lifelong passion for creative expression. As a multimedia artist, I explore a wide range of mediums, including painting, illustration, sculpture, textiles, and wall mural work. With a First-Class Honours Degree in Contemporary Art, I've had the opportunity to exhibit my work in galleries across the region, including Crossley Gallery Dean Clough, Smith Art Gallery, Brighouse, North Light Gallery Hebden Bridge, and Everybody Arts Gallery Halifax. My work has been recognized with prestigious awards, such as the Public Choice Award at the Calderdale Open exhibition 2024 and my sculptural work has recently been listed as a Finalist for the Visual Art Open New and Emerging Artist award in London. These accolades validate my commitment to creating impactful and thought-provoking pieces. Facilitator
Beyond my studio practice, I am enthusiastic about using art as a tool for personal well-being. I work as a facilitator, delivering art for well-being sessions in various settings, including the NHS, women's centres, colleges, and community drop-in sessions. My belief in the transformative power of art has led me to work for organizations like Hebden Bridge Arts, assisting in the management and delivery of a busy programme of summer events. Projects I have facilitated in the past with community groups have been selected for local art exhibitions, at Crossley Gallery, Dean Clough and as part of Hebden Bridge Arts and the work has been printed in art publications. Which all created powerful opportunities for the makers to see their work viewed by the public.

At the end of July - reached a little milestone hitting the first 7 months of my Art Psychotherapy Masters degree in Sheffield, so marking it with a post. its been pretty full on.. studying along side living, working, creating and as a requirement for the course when training attending personal therapy regularly.
Add in presentations, essays, closed group therapy training, learning new skills and ways of art making, navigating university life, learning different ways to make slime 🀣 (for real!) and the commute to conquer weekly... theres been a lot going on!

But I’ve learned heaps, challenged myself in ways I didn’t expect and met some wonderful people along the way. Hopefully, the next step will be starting placement as a trainee art therapist and beginning to put some of what I’ve learned into practice.

Slides 2–9 are a few pieces of my own work from uni, along with the art-making apron we were given at the end of our closed-group training.

The rest are some of my pics from Sheffield. I’ve absolutely loved getting to know the city β€” from the galleries to the constantly changing street art and all the creativity around every corner. πŸ’›πŸŽ¨

A huge thank you to Everybody Arts for giving me the opportunity to return as a resident artist for a second time.

Having the gallery space as a place to experiment, take risks and create new work has been incredibly valuable. During this residency, I used the space to explore ideas around loss and its impact β€” particularly the physical and emotional experience of holding tension and anxiety for long periods, far beyond what our minds and bodies are naturally built to cope with.

On the first day, I began creating with salvaged cables, cord and other discarded materials. As the days and hours passed, the materials naturally began to fray, yet they continued to hold tension, suspended from the beautiful industrial pillars throughout the residency. The changing materials became part of the work itself β€” reflecting the fragility, endurance and weight of what we carry.

I also used the space to experiment with the installation and positioning of existing work, responding to the natural light and the architecture of the gallery. Being able to see familiar work in a completely different environment gave me a fresh perspective and opened up new possibilities for creating and presenting pieces.

One of the most meaningful parts of the residency was inviting some of the visitors to make handprints of hope on scraps of paper. Because even in the darkest of times, we always need to find a little bit of hope and may need a helping hand. ❀️

Thank you to anyone who visited, contributed, shared thoughts and helped make the space what it was.
