Join us for an afternoon celebrating Somerset native, Roger Lemelin, with his latest series of paintings.The Night Watchers began as a series of imagined guardians—quiet figures who stand at the threshold between the familiar and the unknown. Part animal, part myth, and part memory, they are protectors of dreams, stories, time, and the unseen moments that shape our lives. Although each painting carries its own narrative, together they create a world where symbolism, imagination, and personal mythology invite viewers to discover their own meanings. While these paintings may appear to have arrived unexpectedly, they are the result of a much longer journey. Throughout Lemelin’s career, he has explored many artistic traditions, learning from the painters and storytellers who inspired him.
Roger J. Lemelin is a Massachusetts-based artist whose work explores storytelling through painting, printmaking, puppetry, and theatrical design. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Printmaking from Rhode Island College and a Master of Arts in Teaching from the Rhode Island School of Design. His continued studies include Children’s Book Illustration at RISD and a Graduate Certificate in Puppetry Arts from the University of Connecticut. After more than twenty years as a visual arts educator, Lemelin has devoted his studio practice to developing symbolic figurative paintings that blend myth, folklore, and personal narrative
