There 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.
Kate Burrow is an Ashland artist that has a distinct style within her painting techniques as well as the canvases she chooses to use. She primarily works with either oil or acrylic paint on scraps of uniquely aged wood, which she usually finds around town. The paintings themselves are portraits of either people she has known, seen, or observed, or of people she envisions one day meeting. Burrow compliments these portraits with bright, vibrant colors that draw the viewer in to understand the character that is being portrayed.
Kate Burrow’s paintings will be on display in the third floor gallery through the July. Visitors can view the exhibit anytime during
