Welcome to Tenacious Goods, the creative home of Heather Hogan, a Sacramento-based artist, educator, and designer. I blend modern digital fabrication (like laser cutting) with traditional analog techniques and upcycled materials to create vibrant fine art, site-specific public art, and collaborative community workshops. Explore the collections, sign up for a hands-on art workshop, or let’s collaborate on your next big creative project.
Site-specific public art installations, interactive community murals, and collaborative creative activations designed to transform public spaces. By partnering with local organizations and utilizing durable materials like cut steel, these permanent and temporary works are built to inspire connection, tell community stories, and celebrate local culture.
Fine Art by Series
Explore gallery collections of layered mixed media, low-relief wood sculptures, and laser-cut paper collages. These pieces bridge the physical and digital worlds, blending precise digital fabrication techniques with the warmth of hand-painted papers, analog collage, and upcycled materials.
Workshops
Hands-on creative workshops and artist talks focusing on screen printing, modern making, and digital-meets-analog fabrication. Designed for all ages and skill levels, these interactive experiences empower participants to play, create, and build technical skills in a supportive, collaborative environment.
