About the Artist …
Texas born and educated, Roger earned his degree in Art Education at Texas Tech in 1966. He began his career as a high fire stoneware potter and art teacher in the 60's and 70's. He taught art in the San Angelo public schools while establishing the Art Center. Since 1977, the Art Center and his own work have received his full attention. Roger's focus changed to bronze casting and sculpture during the 80's but returned to clay in the 90's, and the StarKeeper story was born. Roger is knowledgeable in many areas of art techniques and spends much time sharing with others. He remains committed to education by offering a diverse program of special interests for the children - creators of the future - and an array of programs for all ages. But, the Old Chicken Farm Art Center may well be Roger Allen's biggest and finest work of art.
MEANTIME...I'M PROUD…
I'm very proud of the art center, what we represent in San Angelo and what we do for the city, and I'm grateful of the support from the city, schools, and fine arts museum. I'm proud of the art center artists; so be sure to look at their pages and /or sites. I'm proud of Pam and her newfound career teaching Somatics. I'm proud of Jerry and Susan and their success with the Silo House restaurant. B/B, and Gecko Gallery. And I'm very proud of a great staff that keeps the day in day out stuff going.
