Steve Hogle was born and raised in southern Florida, but has made the seacoast of NH his home for the last 25 years. Steve is an accomplished award winning photographic artist, with works appearing in numerous publications as well as a recent permanent installation in the Clarion Arnett Hospital in Indiana.  He has been commissioned for private and personal collections across the US.

Statement by the artist: "I call my work 'watercolor photography' as each piece is naturally shot with an over saturation of colors and soft focus, and homemade filters.  Post work overlays or 'fusion' work involving multiple layers of the image are added for shadow and tonal depths for added punch and vibrancy.  The original work is then printed and finished using the long lost art of hand tinting using Gouache paints.

With the bold use of an array of colors and mixed media techniques, each piece is created to invite the viewer to guess as to whether it is a photograph or a painting. My eye ventures out in search of unusual scenes, colors, and vivid displays of textural combinations.
