He resides on Dog Island, a Gulf Coast barrier island in North Florida. His subjects include: Everglades, Big Cypress National Preserve, swamps, beaches, cypress trees, marshes, creeks, blackwater rivers, marine buildings like fishing shacks and oyster shucking houses. His style is closest to American New Realism. While the detail in his works rises to the photographic level, this mature artist's paintings are more like memories or dreams of the places they represent. Education Roger Leonard is largely self-taught in painting. He is also a graduate of the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, FL, where he completed studies in advertising design and illustration, and did directed individual studies in fine art. Leonard holds an Associate of Arts degree from Florisant Valley Community College, St. Louis, MO, where he dumped journalism and smelled the paint. He was born in Massapequa, Long Island, New York, and is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran.
