ABOUT MIKE HOGANSON

MIKE HOGANSON ART HAS IT'S ROOTS AT MY HOME IN SOUTHERN COLORADO ON THE CONEJOS RIVER. A WOOD SHOP IN 2007 GOT ME STARTED. I BEGAN MAKING CARVED TROUT FOR NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS TO HANG ABOVE THEIR LOG HOME ENTRYWAYS. THIS WOODWORKING  FORCED ME TO LEARN HOW TO PAINT THESE TROUT TO REPRESENT ACTUAL FISH FROM OUR RIVER, STREAMS AND LAKES IN THE RIO GRANDE NATIONAL FOREST. 

​

THIS HOBBY BLOSSOMED INTO NEW BRANCHES OF WOODWORKING.  I CAN NOW MAKE TABLES, BENCHES, WINE RACKS, FLYROD RACKS AND SO MUCH MORE! PAINTING EVOLVED INTO WOOD BURNING ON CHARACTER LOGS AND SLABS.

​

HUNTING FOR BEAUTIFUL WOOD, LOGS AND CHARACTER SLABS  IS A FAVORITE PAST TIME WHICH BROUGHT ME TO THE CREATION OF THE DUCKS OUT OF OLD WOOD FENCE POSTS, RECLAIMED WOOD,  AND SPECIALTY BRANCHES.

​

MY VISION IS TO PROMOTE CUSTOM FLY FISHING AND WILDLIFE REPRODUCTIONS TO OUTDOOR GUIDE SERVICES WHO CAN OFFER THEIR CUSTOMERS REAL LIFE COPIES OF THEIR TROPHY EXPERIENCES THROUGH COMMISSIONED ART WORK BY  MIKE HOGANSON ART.
