Don’t look at me: look at my work.
There is not a scrap of self-reflection in the pictures I paint. I look outward not inward.
I do never turn the gaze upon myself. I do never reveal the outsidedness inside.
Body controlled, fears repressed, emotions masked; dignity and autonomy must be preserved.

A portrait of me, therefore, would simply be a dark and muddy confusion.
No character. No colour. Nothing to see here: move along now and look over there.

Sharon Hogg is a visual artist working in Calgary Alberta and Lombardy Ontario, Canada. She holds a Bachelors of Fine Art and  a Masters of Fine Art from the Alberta College of Art and Design.


Where humans intersect with unseen natural forces, she imagines what lies behind or beneath the surface. More than seeing, she wants to feel the backstory, the understory, the glue that holds it all together. Her work seeks to bring that underlying level of awareness closer to the visible and the touchable.

The ​Sublime, New Materialism and the Vorticists are influences.
