Bonefish and Tarpon Trust Artist of the Year 2024
Roger Fowler is the 2024 Featured Artist for The Bonefish and Tarpon Trust. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of "Redfish" will go directly to BTT, whose mission is to conserve and enhance global bonefish, tarpon, and permit fisheries and their environments through stewardship, research, education, and advocacy. The BTT serves as a repository for information on the life history of these species and works internationally with anglers, guides, scientists, regulators, and the public to nurture and enhance fish populations.
Born in Texas, Roger Fowler grew up fly fishing on the Taylor River in Colorado during his summers. After graduating from college and joining the workforce, Fowler was dissatisfied with the sculptures he saw in galleries. As a result, in the early 1990s, he decided to try his own hand at creating lifelike fish that capture and reflect light. The artist writes, "I think there is something magical about the appearance of a fish seen up close. No creature on earth has such an interesting combination of complex colors and many look like they are illuminated from within when they are seen in direct sunlight.”
