Alan Hogan
Profile
Alan Hogan was born in Dublin, Ireland. After finishing school in 1986 he worked for the Irish Government for two years. He then graduated from the College of Marketing & Design, Dublin in 1990. Alan has spent most of his life so far living in Dublin city and suburbs. He moved to Ashbourne in County Meath (just north of Dublin) in 2003. Alan had been working in the print industry for many years until June 2007 when he decided to leave Ireland to live in Finland.
Nowadays Alan finds the weather and way of life a lot different. Language is a bit of a challenge too, as he has to deal with both Finnish and Swedish-speaking Finns. But he finds that they are a very kind and friendly people, which makes things a little easier for him. Alan now lives in a small town called Karis, southwest of Finland’s capital Helsinki. This is where he continues to paint and explore his art.
