Wool tapestry in three panels on ebony stained Oak

The westward view
from Calgary Alberta.
A ubiquitous view
burned like a brand
into the Calgarian identity.
Clearly announcing
the rising barometer
the warming west wind.
The imposition of
human pattern-finding
on the natural world,
sometimes
an abstraction in art,
sometimes
a weather prediction.

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.
