Kalispell painter Mark Ogle leads the final Crits and Croissants session of the season May 11.
The Hockaday Museum of Art’s Crits and Croissants forum gives those who create art a chance to have their work reviewed by professionals. Artists 15 and older are invited to bring one or more pieces of their recently created artwork for critique by Ogle while enjoying coffee and croissants.
Ogle was raised and educated in Kalispell, where his first venture into art was helping the Ace Powell Bronze Foundry in 1970. After three years of military service abroad, he returned home to commit himself to a career as a painter.
Ogle studied art under many contemporary artists, including Joe Abbrescia, Robert Cavanaugh, Ace Powell and Bud Helbig. He has earned a substantial reputation as one of the most talented landscape painters in America, and his work has been on tour around the globe, including the Smithsonian.
Ogle has been featured in Southwest Art and Art of the West magazines and in the book “The New American Impressionism.”
Crits and Croissants takes place from 10:30 a.m. to noon May 11 in the Hockaday’s classroom, 302 Second Ave. E., Kalispell. Cost is $5 for museum members, or $7 for nonmembers.
