The Art Adoption Agency started out as the brain child of Sam Hogan, an artist from Macon, GA. He shared his ideas with his sister Judy Hopson, an artist from Washington, PA, and the agency was conceived. With the help of her agent and best friend, Bill Faust, they established the Agency on June 5th, 2002 then enlisted the help of son John Hopson, a website and database designer. The agency's first Art Adoption Show was held on July 6th and the rest is history. Every piece of Hopson's work holds a piece of her essence therefore she sees her work as children placed for adoption not commodities for sale
