Caprice Hogg first picked up a paintbrush in 1994 and has been painting across Canada – indoors and outdoors – ever since. Her life and career has been utterly immersed in the world of art. From all of her travels, it is the landscape of the west that truly speaks to Caprice and is the subject matter that most often winds up on her canvases. After years of painting and exhibiting, Caprice first opened the doors of Caprice Fine Art & Co Studio Gallery in 2003, nestled amongst the beautiful Rocky Mountains in Kimberley. It is here, completely surrounded by nature, where Caprice lives, paints, sells and teaches art amongst the alpine air and this inspires her daily. Her original oil paintings are now in private and corporate collections across the world from Canada, the United States, Europe, and New Zealand. Her close relationship with those who have purchased her paintings is an honour and a cornerstone of her work.
After painting full time for many years, it was a natural progression to start teaching art. Caprice’s mentors taught her the rules of fine art using the same principles used by the Masters that inspire her, such as Michelangelo, the Group of Seven, and Emily Carr, to name a few. Her insatiable thirst for knowledge of art become an obsession as Caprice eagerly reads each and every art book she can get her hands on. She feels privileged to pass on their legacy to her students today.
Throughout her career Caprice has honed many skills and is proud to be not only an artist and a teacher, but also an entrepreneur and a writer. Owning a small-business in rural BC as a female entrepreneur has its many challenges, however Caprice attributes these challenges to the success and happiness she has found in her career. Throughout these experiences Caprice has collected many interesting and captivating stories that she is now sharing through her writing. These writings can be found on her blog.
She is further working with Cloud Lake Literary as a Contributing Book Reviewer for their online content. Caprice’s latest venture, alongside other master painters, is working with aspiring artists to reach their creative potential at Mastrius Artist Mentorship Community.
