My glass sculptures are three-dimensional vignettes that tell stories.  My process is to create tangible iconography from imagery mined from my own experience as well taping into a collective visual memory. The telling of stories through objects creates a personal narrative with all the distortions and metamorphic qualities that time creates. I work with figure studies and portraits in creating biographies, often of women artists. Using archetypal imagery, such as houses, birds, and domestic items, I tell narratives as metaphors for transition, loss, and undefined memories.

Based in lllinois, Laurie Hogin is a Pop Surrealist artist who creates beautiful yet bizarre apocalyptic landscapes and allegorical animal portraits saturated in brilliant color and imbued with elaborate narratives reflecting pop culture and the human experience. Her remarkable skill as a painter is inextricably intertwined with her message for humankind.

Hogin is deeply concerned with the social and political issues of our contemporary culture. Her dazzling yet disturbing narrative allegories portray the disastrous effects of drug abuse, altered food sources, overconsumption, and misguided political and economic forces. Her hope is to evoke empathy toward all creatures and the ecosystems that support them.

“My animals remain allegories of culture as much as avatars of my own psyche,”

-Laurie Hogin
