Roger Serge Ulasovetz, born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, started painting with oils at 13 years of age. Self taught, mainly through continuing exposure to art information in the form of texts, art workshops, networking with peers, and by satisfying a never ending thirst for artistic knowledge, he always devoted as much time as possible to his art, while at the same time following a career in industrial electronics and information technology.

Roger first moved to Canada’s far north in 1961. He and his Gwich’in wife Aggie, whom he met in Inuvik, have spent many years working in the north, painting and enjoying its solitude and beauty. Roger’s painting career started taking over full time when in 1986 he successfully painted for two years in Edmonton Alberta. In 1990/91 he frequently painted in Washington State.

Before moving to the Yukon, Roger worked for the Government of the Northwest Territories as Arts and Crafts Programs Manager. In 2004 Roger and his wife moved to Tagish Yukon.  He now paints full time at his home studio/gallery and on location mainly in the Yukon.  Aggie passed away in December of 2005.  Roger's goal is to stay in the Yukon and to continue to grow as an artist, concentrating on oils, but also using watercolors, acrylics, soft pastels, graphite and charcoal. He is truly a "Painter of Yukon Light".
