Roger Dennis is essentially a self taught artist as his only formal training was received during his school days at Rye in Sussex.

He was commissioned into the Corps of Royal Engineers in 1970 and served both at home and overseas until he retired from the Regular Army in 1992 under the 'Options for Change' reductions. Since then he has worked as a Civil Servant for the MOD in a variety of appointments.

He was elected as a member of the Armed Forces Art Society in 1985. He designed and manages the Website for this premier art society.

He now lives in Mere in Wiltshire and specialises in animal portraits, but also undertakes other artwork from time to time.
