Featured Artist: Eunika Rogers

Eunika Rogers’ artwork connects deeply with the landscapes she explores and the female body, creating a unique dialogue between the two. As an ultra-distance runner and an experienced trekking guide, Eunika gathers natural pigments and clay from her hikes across diverse terrains, from Colorado's Red Mountain Pass to Slovakia's High Tatra Mountains. These materials, once collected, are transformed into her distinctive terroir paintings, where she uses these earthy shades to tell stories of her surroundings and personal experiences.

Her paintings capture the raw essence of nature, using clay as a medium that connects her directly to the land. With a process that harks back to ancient techniques, Eunika’s work embodies the act of fossilizing a moment in time. Her terroir paintings highlight the intimate relationship between the physical world and the female body, each layer of paint revealing the intersection of time, emotion, and nature.
