John Hogan, a graduate of Northeast Louisiana
State University with a Bachelor degree and New Mexico Highlands University
with a Masters in Art Hogan studied with Edward Schutz and Elmer Schooley both
exceptional landscape painters.
"At Northeast Schutz introduced me to
Nature as subject matter and gave me the opportunity for the first time to
immerse myself in a variety of visual media that seemed to have limitless
possibilities. It was Shutz, also a Highlands University graduate, who
suggested I go to New Mexico to study with his old mentor Elmer Schooley. My
interest in the patterns found in nature are a direct result of Dr. Schooley’s
influence. In the 1960s Schooley introduced us to the work of Pierre Bonnard
which opened up a whole new paradigm about the nature of color and light."
Hogan taught art at the University of Texas
at El Paso where he became deeply involved in both drawing and printmaking
techniques that have merged in many ways with his painting. Since the 1970s
Hogan has exhibited widely throughout the Southwest as well as abroad.
Hogan has work in the Santa Fe Museum of Art,
The Eiteljorg Museum of American Indian and Western Art in Indianapolis,
Indiana and is represented in many private and corporate collections.
