For Jaclyn Rogers, working at Ai Painting Plus has allowed her to follow her passion into an industry that is constantly evolving. “The art world is dynamic, with evolving trends and constant innovation,” she says. It’s what sparked her interest in the field and what continues to ignite her passion for the field, something Rogers says is key to any success.

“I have had a few careers in my past and I think staying consistent with passion and determination is what gets you far,” Rogers says.

Though Rogers had known the owners of Ai Painting Plus for years before joining their team, she says she was completely humbled to be considered. “It was a full circle moment to have the opportunity to learn something new,” she says. “The trust and support they have given to me has been so inspiring!”
In addition to her role in sales, Rogers has been certified in color consulting. “Color is the element most likely to be held in memory and it is estimated that 90% of the information you take in visually is related to color,” she says.

Being a “Woman to Watch” is something Rogers considers both humbling and exciting, as she has made a concerted effort to be more involved in the community and worked to build relationships with other local leaders. “All women get better by building each other up and I look forward to continuing to do that with other women in the community,” Rogers says.

Ai Painting is a great example of that, she says, by being women-owned and led. Plus, the business is focused on expanding the skills and opportunities of its team members through its apprentice program.
