Josh Hoggle

I am an artist based in Birmingham, Alabama. I graduated from UAB in 2022 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, concentrating in painting. I currently work as a Prop Styling Assistant at Dotdash/Meredith, specializing in tabletop styling. My work involves curating and designing settings for a variety of prominent brands, including Food & Wine, Southern Living, People, All Recipes, Serious Eats, and Real Simple. This role allows me to blend my creative vision with practical styling skills, bringing a polished and captivating aesthetic to each project.

Outside of my full-time job, I paint with oils and also dabble in photography. In both my paintings and photography, I aim to create images that capture the textures, light, and beauty in everyday experiences and objects we interact with. My creative process is deeply rooted in personal exploration of the environment and experiences that continuously shape my perspective and understanding. I create purely for the sheer enjoyment of exploring and presenting beauty in all its forms. While my art may subtly reveal underlying themes and concepts, I firmly believe its true value lies in its capacity to be experienced and interpreted uniquely by each individual viewer. Art is inherently subjective, and I fully embrace the diverse perspectives and personal histories that each observer brings to their encounter with my work.
