Bio
Shane Rogers is a mixed-media and collage artist, professional singer/songwriter and musician, and classic dancer by education and training. He was born in Des Moines, Iowa in 1972, and currently resides between Germany and New York, USA. Shane holds a PhD in environmental engineering and is a professor of environmental engineering and science in New York. He is internationally recognized for his achievements in environmental and social justice and public health. His work has brought agency to low-income people in the southern U.S. long-suffering from environmental pollution as described in the book “Wastelands: The Story of Farm Country on Trial” by international best-selling author Corban Addison. He has also appeared internationally for his work linking exposure to toxic molds to people’s experiences of hauntings, which has been highly publicized and fictionalized in online, print, radio, film, and television media since first released in 2015.
As a practicing artist, Shane has chosen to use the anagram of his name: “Grorse Nesha”; therefore, he is the artist known as GNESHA. In the religion of Hinduism, Ganesha is the remover of obstacles, bringer of good fortune, patron of the arts and sciences, and deva of intellect and wisdom. His artwork and photography have appeared on the cover of the Soil Science Society of America Journal, three indie rock albums by the band “Bee Children”, and in Photo Trouveé Magazine and Contemporary Collage Magazine, among other outlets.
