Roger Van Damme
Roger Van Damme studied at the Art Students League of New York in the late 1950's with modern masters Edwin Dickinson and George Grosz. Over his nearly sixty year career Van Damme has won many awards and honors and has taught at various local colleges.
Van Damme is best known for his still-life paintings of enamel field cups, which have been a consistent theme in Van Damme's imagery ever since he was severly wounded in Belgium during WWII and nursed back to health with liquids from the cups. His seascapes, portraits of his late wife, and energetic young nudes have also piqued the attention of critics and audiences over the years.
Van Damme continues to live and work in Milford, close to the shoreline from which he has drawn so much inspiration.
