I’m a teacher foremost and an artist second. Teaching is the primary craft to which I dedicate my time. My practice and commitment to education and mentorship stem from my experience with mental health, investigation of identity, phenomenology, and my love for water. Mirroring my classroom’s playful processes, my studio practice attempts to locate space, objects, and time for toying with and navigating the nuances of in-between spaces through video, sound, spatial installations, and collage.

Catie Rogers is an Art Teacher and Artist. She received her BFA in sculpture in 2017 from SUNY Purchase College. Following her undergraduate education, Rogers worked closely with multiple women-identifying artists, including Diana Al-Hadid, Rachel Mica Wiess, Joan Semmel, Rachel Feinstein, and Rachel Owens. Rogers pivoted her professional direction in 2018 when she began sharing her skills in the form of educational workshops at the Pimento Hall International School, Beam Camp, Beam Center, and multiple middle schools throughout Queens, New York, through Scholar STEM. These experiences eventually landed her in the classroom full-time at The Lang School. Rogers spent four years there working with twice-exceptional students–gifted and talented-neurodivergent children who identify with having autism, audio processing challenges, sensory needs, and ADHD. In 2020, while working full time and at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, she enrolled in the Master’s in Art Education program at The City College of New York. Since then, she has focused on growing herself as a social justice-oriented and compassion-centered educator and is expected to graduate in May of 2023.

Rogers was born in 1995 in Stony Brook, New York. She grew up on Corchaug land, in Shoreham, and post-2013 has lived in many different cities in New York State. She currently lives in Brooklyn, New York, as she completes her Master’s degree.
