GABRIELLE (HEATHER) ROGERS

Ships in bottles, though full of the tiniest details and careful attention, are a traditional, maritime art form once crafted by the toughest sailors of old.
As a passionate crafter of ships in bottles, I have developed a huge appreciation for the challenge of constructing these tiny ships with my main focus directed towards detail.
My overall goal, is to always produce what appears to be a miniature version of a ship or vessel captured in a moment in time.
I accept special requests and commissions Also, please contact me with any questions, comments, intrigues, or other desires. I enjoy sharing my secrets with other modelers too.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Gabrielle (Heather) Rogers is a small town girl, from Mathews, VA and has a great interest in all sorts of arts and crafts. She is an artist who studied at Longwood University and Bridgewater College where she received her Bachelors Degree and license to teach K-12 Art.
After college, her interest in sailing really blossomed and she was lucky to meet Stefan and begin sailing on "Wabi." The only thing she needed was an art form to take along, and after viewing a demonstration on putting ships in bottles while visiting the Maritime Museum in Beaufort, North Carolina, she was set on beginning her new trade.
Building ships in bottles is not the only art she produces. She is also a competent glass artist, constructing stained glass and mosaics. She has worked in the field of traditional graphic design, creating signs and lettering on boats, practicing hand painting and vinyl methods. And, she enjoys making her newest artform of highly detailed silhouette paper cuts.
