Essencia Media: Tina Hoggatt

Issaquah, Washington

"It's hard to value your work, I think. It's been really hard for me to value my work and put it first."

Award-winning public art maker and art educator, Tina Hoggatt creates large pieces and small in glass, tile, metals, paints, and other materials. She has received public and private commissions for permanent works installed in cities (including Yangzhou, China; Portland, Oregon; Kent, Washington; and many others); mascots for schools; and pieces for parks, institutions, and private collections. A multi-piece installation of historic baseball players, "Positions on the Field" is found at Safeco Field in Seattle (the Mariners' park).

Hoggatt uses her studio for her printmaking, painting, and letterpress printing.

She works with children in workshops and classes to promote the arts for the future generation.
