Andre Hoggan was born in Idaho Falls, Idaho. He received a BFA in Fine Art from Idaho State University in Pocatello Idaho. Andre spent his college years weaving on floor looms, creating handmade paper and pouring metal in a foundry. Eventually his work evolved into a unique combination of metal, natural fiber weavings, and paper. The central theme of his work explores an abstract human form striving to radiate energy and emotion. His use of shape, line and texture breathes life into the sculptural forms he creates.
There is so much potential in handmade paper as a medium and Andre Hoggan has discovered a unique artistic expression through the natural fibers used. With a fondness for sharing his passion-whether through teaching, exhibiting or simply discussing his creative process, Andre enjoys being part of the local art community. His handmade paper allows others to incorporate his unique craftsmanship into their own distinct and personal projects.
