Early life and education

Storey, he attended the Academie Julian in Paris from 1899 to 1901.[4]
After working at the Tate Gallery in London, Hoggatt moved to the Isle of Man with Dazine Archer in 1907 where they were married at Kirk Rushen on 20 April 1907.[4]
Work

In 1925, Hoggatt was elected to the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours. He was also a member of the Liverpool and Manchester Academies.[3]
