She has to work flat and very slowly,” he said. “I’m going to sound like I know more about art than I do. ” Getting to live daily with his wife’s painting, the governor said he has come to understand how laborious the artistic process is. Speaking at the opening, Governor Hogan said his wife is “obviously very passionate about. “They also underscore an important point: that art serves as a universal language and a symbol of our shared experience affirming our desire to discover and create to learn and to grow.” Hogan’s beautiful and often ethereal works-blending childhood memories of rural Korea with more immediate images of Maryland, cherry blossoms and seascapes from the Eastern Shore-introduce a unique artistic vision,” he said.
