The Art of Roger Six
Displays & ExhibitsThere are many creative people at Southern Oregon University, including SOU alumni and employee Roger Six. You can view some of Roger’s paintings, on display now until the end of Spring term in the library’s art gallery, located on the third floor.
Roger S. Six was born in the San Francisco Bay Area and graduated from SOU with a degree in history. He has traveled throughout the American West, Western Canada, and England. Roger began painting with oils during his college studies but eventually gravitated towards acrylics for their bright colors and ease of use. A longtime employee of the university, Roger is the father of Dr. Joseph Six and Amy B. Conkey, both graduates of SOU. He lives now in Phoenix, Oregon.
