Birmingham, Alabama. A current BFA
candidate at the University of Alabama at

Birmingham Juried Annual in 2021. In

Hoggle is a classical oil painter whose
work examines the human condition through
figurative painting. He draws inspiration
from the LGBTQ+ community around him
and his own experiences as a homosexual
man. His work combines oil painting with
contemporary imagery to capture individuals
who do not conform to the pressures of
society to present themselves in a certain
way. Hoggle also does freelance surface
painting for Meredith Corporation. He
creates surfaces for photographers to use in
photo shoots for Southern Living, Food &
Wine, Cooking Light, and many other
brands associated with Meredith
Corporation.
