Roger Herman has lived in Los Angeles since 1977, and the California landscape—its poppies, its mountains—runs through everything he makes. California Poppies at Carpenters Workshop Gallery presents large-scale canvases alongside ceramic vessels and tables, all defined by the same gestural, unpredictable expressiveness. Herman treats clay as he treats canvas: with spontaneity, vivid color, and a celebration of imperfection that has made him a defining figure in California art.
