Margriet Hogue
Margriet Hogue was born in the Netherlands and spent her formative years in Venezuela before immigrating to the east coast of Canada with her parents and a few years later to Alberta. She studied textile and design at Olds College and weaving at the Banff Centre for the Arts. In 1989 she established her own needlework business. Her business specializes in researching and reproducing samplers and needlework from museums in Europe and North America and she teaches at needlework workshops across North America and globally on- line.
In recent years Margriet has diversified into abstract painting, primarily mixed media. Various courses and workshops have inspired a love for the freedom from the structure and minutae of her needlework background. She has received an honourable mention for Back Alley Blues in the Abstracted show of the Federation of Canadian Artists and the first Visual Artist Award in Red Deer, Alberta. Margriet recently had a two person show at the St. Albert Art Gallery. Recently she won second place for When Dinosaurs Roamed the Earth in the Loydminster Museum juried art show,
Several of her pieces are published in Creative Quarterly, both in the Fall and Winter issues as well as other publications.
