In the last three years I have found myself responding more directly in my work to events and environments around me. Climate change has become a personal event, and current politics are destroying the world I'd been formed in as a younger artist. I am backtracking, trying to remember the before and after. I still find myself trying to put it all into relation to the art world I have lived in for so long, but the reconciliation is tenuous.

Lucy Hogg makes photo based art, having shifted from a longstanding painting practice in 2008. Her most recent exhibited project, Monkey Painter, is a memoir of painting at the end of the 20th century–a two-hour slide dissolve of images and texts.

Originally from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Hogg currently lives in New York City, after having moved from Vancouver, where she taught full time at Emily Carr University from 1989 to 2003. From 2004 to 2013 she taught at the Corcoran College of Art and Design, the University of Maryland, American University, and the Maryland Institute College of Art in graduate and undergraduate programs, in addition to teaching in the online program of Emily Carr. Her paintings, and the coda to that work, Monkey Painter are included in the public collections of the Vancouver Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (Halifax), the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery (Vancouver), the Hirshhorn Museum (D.C.), Canada Council Art Bank and the Confederation Centre Art Gallery (Charlottetown).

In addition to her art practice, Hogg has written about other artist’s work for catalogues and art publications, has curated exhibitions for non-profit galleries and has published photos to accompany arts coverage in the New York Times, Washington Post, The Daily Beast, and Newsweek.
