My drawings are based on my life experiences using backyard “critters” as subject matter. Occasionally, I mix and mingle animal parts, creating new animals which fit the concept. I feel myself to be in the tradition of English draftsmen such as Rowlandsen, Blake, and Hogarth. I have been called by critics a cartoonist who is also a true artist

My work mainly consists of photographic objects that have been extracted from their original work and placed into a new setting…the objective is to create a surrealistic images with odd inhabitants and strange objects within the boundaries of a photograph
Hagar’s art asks questions about the relationship of the body to an ‘environment’ in both a physical and metaphorical sense. Her material and photographic exploration of this relationship defines and shapes it. She uses plexiglass as the holding structure of her pieces, and her process involves painting, tracing, adhering objects, melting and scratching its surface.

I use an iPad, to quickly record ideas. Then, I will either complete the work entirely on the iPad, or use more traditional materials such as watercolor paper and paint. My humor is inspired by animals and by human nature, and my paintings are inspired by vistas such as the light in the morning on the Hudson Palisades
