Rogers’ works have been presented to leading world figures such as John Howard, Vincent Fox, Efraim Katzir, Richard Butler and Simon Wiesenthal. Andrew Rogers lives in Melbourne, Australia and is a full-time artist.

The title of the project, the "Rhythms of Life" is derived from Rogers’ early bronze sculptures.
