Your work will be shown to various sites throughout New Mexico with available 1% for public art funds.

Fingers crossed my art quilt gets selected for purchase!

- Request to use my textile art to inspire art students
In December 2019 I received a request from Deborah Kapoor an artist and art teacher in Seattle, WA to use an image of my piece Random Not So Random as inspiration for her art students. She wrote:
Hi Tierney, I teach painting and drawing at South Seattle College, and wanted to share your beautiful work with students. If you are open to the idea, I would just need a high res image sent to me, and I plan to print on 11 x 17 inch paper and laminate, sort of like a mini-poster, for the art room. I think it would really inspire the students! The piece I am interested in is Color Story III: Random, Not so Random
I sent her a high resolution image which she printed into a poster and put on her “wall of fame” in her classroom. Here is a partial image she sent me of that wall (other artists work edited out of image):
She stated the student were enjoying the inspiration.

Your Body of water is connected to streams, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, and tides, to toilets and faucets…to present homes, childhood homes and ancestral ones by memory, by the water cycle, by stories.” The exhibition will feature 15 contemporary artworks ranging from paintings, photography, prints and sculpture.

- NOVEL IDEA ART SHOW
I began entering art shows last year as part of my journey to someday (hopefully) become a professional artist. The juried shows (in order to be accepted into the show your piece is reviewed by a jury of experts and “juried in” or declined) I entered have been through the SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) Calls for Entries into shows. I have never entered a local juried show, until now.
Deschutes Public Library has an annual community read called A Novel Idea (all of Central Oregon is encouraged to read the same book and then the book’s author speaks at the annual Novel Idea book event). This year’s book was A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki.
As part of the annual Novel Idea celebration, an art show is held at the library for art inspired by the book. On a whim I entered this local art show and my piece Jiro’s Robe was juried in. Jiko’s Robe is the only textile art in the downtown library show, the rest of the pieces are paintings.
Jiko’s Secret Robe (2015). Pre-printed kimono panel with piecing by Tierney Davis Hogan. Quilted by T. Hogan.Jiro’s Robe will be shown at the Downtown Branch of the Deschutes Public Library March to early June 2015.

As exciting as the notification that one of my silk art quilts will be in a juried show, was with information about the distinguished juror for New Directions ’14 who selected the piece: Lynne Warren, Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Chicago, IL. “Random not so Random” was selected as one of 82 works by 74 artists from a total of 653 eligible entries from 202 artists nationwide.
I shared news of getting into this show with an artist/painter friend in NY and he said: “Of the few places to show throughout NY outside of NYC, the Barrett Art Center is pretty prestigious, and to be selected by a juror with such an illustrious affiliation: you should be walking on air.” I am walking on air!
