(Roger) Sprague (September 12, 1937 – July 28, 2010) was an American Contemporary Realist artist.

Sprague was born in Buffalo, New York, and raised in south Arkansas, graduating from El Dorado High School.

He attended the University of Oklahoma and graduated with a BA in Fine Arts, with majors in botany, architecture, and finally, in painting.

Sprague resided in New York City and worked as booking agent and shipboard companion for United States Lines.

He defines his compositions with common objects like tables and chairs but always leaves ample room for the viewer to create their own interpretation.
