Amy Hoagland

Artist Amy Hoagland’s (MFA’22) work is currently featured in the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art’s group show, “Smoke & Mirrors,” which runs through January of next year. The show spotlights eight Colorado artists who create optical illusions through reflective materials and unconventional techniques. In her work, Hoagland uses materials like glass, metal and projected light to create sculptural installations about the human relationship within nature. Inspired by an experience in the Arctic with the Arctic Circle Residency, she has been creating a series of artworks she hopes can instill change in its viewers and cultivate greater empathy for our planet. The residency, one of several that Hoagland has completed, centered on creating work about climate and was on a sailing vessel with 29 artists and scientists from around the world.
