Sophie Roger

I paint under the acronym "RÇ", which stands for Çaufy Roger. I am French but I have lived in England since 1986.

I very rarely draw from nature or photographs. I let my imagination run wild, even though I do not produce abstract images. All my work is figurative or symbolic.

I have used and loved coloured pencils since I started drawing, when I was a teenager. I also use gouache, tapestry and collage. As nobody had told me that coloured pencils were only "kid's crayons", I have always treated them as a serious medium which demands much patience and skill. In my mind, medium has no importance with regards to how precious a piece of artwork is. What matters is the artist's sincere commitment to what they do.

I am a Founder Member of the UK Coloured Pencil Society. I am a past Treasurer for the UKCPS.
