Lucinda Rogers works directly from life using ink, crayon and watercolour on paper. She has been drawing New York since her first visit in 1988.
Lucinda Rogers studied at Central Saint Martins and Edinburgh College of Art and started working as an illustrator soon afterwards, often being commissioned to draw on location.
Her own work centres on a long-running series of drawings of New York and London, documenting out-of-sight as well as familiar scenes. She also focuses on areas where the built environment and ways of life are in a state of change particularly in East London, where she lives.

| Working on coloured paper gives the mid tone and creates a different atmosphere - the red here can be associated with the speedy taxi or hot tempers that arise in traffic. It could also signify evening as red is a dark tone, and the highlighted lamps and street signs appear to be illuminated. |
 |
| The contrasting bold and thin lines add depth to this near symmetrical picture. The weight is in the middle and we focus on the tall tower. The mass at the bottom, full of people and movement is where our eyes are lead to. |
 |
| The weight and focus is not differentiated between moving objects ,such as people and cars, and buildings. It gives continuity to the image. |
