David J. Rogers Fine Art Gallery

For as long as he can remember, David J. Rogers always wanted to be an artist. Watercolor is his preferred medium and the scenic Central Coast has been his favorite subject. He and Peggy decided 25 years ago that art would become their livelihood.

David searched for a “bread and butter” niche and discovered canine portraits, which grew to include private sittings and a signature collection of more than 300 breeds. He then expanded his Central Coast scenic artwork and, at one point, he and wife/business partner Peggy Rogers found friends and success at more than 40 art shows per year throughout California and the western United States.

During the pandemic, David had to pivot and focus on internet sales, which mushroomed worldwide, allowing the Rogers to consider a move to more space beyond their Fresno home studio.

“I don’t know that we chose Morro Bay as much as Morro Bay chose us,”

David said. “Everyone in the valley wants to escape to the ocean. Morro Bay has been our escape for many years. Since the central California coast is my primary inspiration for artwork, Morro Bay was our natural landing spot.”
