Al Hogue describes his art and his philosophy in one word: “light,” calling it the “reflection of nature, of life itself.” Since his childhood, Hogue has found visual media much more conducive to his dyslexic artistic nature than words. He creates his a world of peace in his artwork, using his mastery of color and light to relieve his own stresses and that of others. Hogue uses his art to heal: his work was used in hospital studies and was found to assist in physiologically healing and now decorates hundreds are hospital rooms across the country. Additionally, Hogue’s work can be found in private and public collections in the USA and all around the world.
