Steve Rogers, a local artist, is primarily known for painting local seascapes. He is also well known as a shipmodel builder, and he is the recipient of the 2005 Established Artist Fellowship from the Delaware Division of the Arts and a member of Delaware by Hand.

Rogers recently donated a beautiful 11”x14” original oil painting of a well, which is located on the society’s historic complex which has been decorated for the holidays.

The Lewes Historical Society welcomes the public to win this painting by purchasing raffle tickets at $5 per chance.
