Inez Hogan

Born in Washington, D.C., in 1895, Inez Hogan was an American writer and illustrator of children’s books. She studied at the Cape Cod School of Art and became especially known for animal stories created for young readers.

Hogan both wrote and illustrated her books, giving them a distinctive visual personality as well as a gentle sense of fun. She also spent time in Provincetown, Massachusetts, and New York City, places connected with her artistic life and career.

She died in February 1973. Remembered for her imaginative storytelling and drawing, she remains part of the long tradition of American children’s authors who created entire little worlds on the page.
