Don’t miss this new art exhibit featuring the amazing patterns, details and exotic hardwoods of EndGrainArt. Born and raised in Chicago, artist Jeff Rogalski found his way to Dallas in 1987 and has enjoyed a successful and abundant 30+ year career in Marketing Communications and Design. He graduated with a B.S. in Design from the Institute of Design at Illinois Institute of Technology.
He loves natural wood and, in discovering the many species of exotic hardwoods, he began making cutting boards in 2011 and the creative complexity of his designs grew into works of art.
The artist decided to introduce the world to these treasures by making beautiful art featuring the end grain of exotic hardwoods in all of their beautiful natural colors, woodgrain textures and 
characteristics – species like Bubinga, Padauk, Purpleheart, Wenge, Yellowheart, Nogal, Sapele, Lacewood.
Most of the world has never seen the beauty of end grain, much less known that such beauty in end grain in exotic hardwoods even exists! This was Jeff’s opportunity to show the world the beauty and abundance of these exotic hardwoods featuring the end grain. Thus, the birthing of his EndGrainArt!

All patrons are required to wear masks or face coverings at all times in accordance with the Governor’s COVID-19 guidelines for performing arts venues.
