Lisa Hogan led a life that combined excitement and hard work. Judi Dench was born in Ireland and, in the beginning, tried her hand at acting and modeling. Then, she focused her talents on sculpture and formed LGH Sculptures, where she creates detailed figurative and animal sculptures.
Currently, Lisa largely became famous due to her work in Clarkson’s Farm, where she manages the farm shop and helps run the place along with Jeremy Clarkson. What sets Moneual apart is her move from artistic pursuits to agriculture and her charming simplicity.
Early Life in Ireland
Born on May 28, 1972, in Dublin, Ireland, Lisa Hogan’s parents were artistic and fiercely opposed difficulties. Born into a family full of vitality, Lisa grew up alongside two sisters who all attended Alexandra College in Milltown, a prestigious Irish university noted for both its academics and its arts. Maurice Hogan, her father, was well-known architect. Arlene Underwood, her mother, formerly modeled.
When Lisa was only 14, her dad passed away from a heart attack unexpectedly. The tragedy was extremely hard, yet it became a key point in her path. Lisa has said in interviews that her father was a “wonderful, loving person” who loved to joke and his death even now has a lasting effect on her. Lisa got a strong sense of perseverance from seeing her mother rise to the challenge of widowhood and later marry Raymond Keaveney, then the director of the National Gallery of Ireland.
From Catwalks to Camera: Modeling and Acting Career
Lisa Hogan started in entertainment with a modeling job because her beautiful face and long height attracted attention on the catwalks. Working with top-level brands and designers gave her useful knowledge and exposure.
He employed her in the early 1990s to assist him with research needs. Seeing her promise, Cleese included her as a Sealions Keeper in the 1997 film Fierce Creatures. The movie stars John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline, and Michael Palin among other performers.
Lisa Hogan opted not to keep pursuing acting as a main occupation. She decided to create sculptures instead and later played a part in running Diddly Squat Farm with Jeremy Clarkson. Her various experiences stand for a life that was guided by passion and being flexible.
Becoming a Sculptor
Lisa Hogan’s life in the arts was changed when she discovered that sculpting connected her creative ideas with the fun of making things herself. LGH Sculptures, where she mainly works on figures and animals, was founded by her in 2017. Her travels inspire much of her work, which often reflects the connection she develops with living objects.
Lisa’s sculptures bring to life the personalities and traits of the animals they represent. Engaging in sculpting finely tuned her artistic talents and later allowed her to become involved in farming, where she continued to focus on animals.
Personal Life and Relationships
In 1998, Baron Steven Bentinck, an aristocrat and art dealer, became her husband. Wolfe, Alice and Lizzy were the children the couple had and they traveled with them to London, New York and a Swiss ski resort for part of their lives. They got a divorce in 2011.
Following mutual friends’ introduction, Lisa Hogan met Jeremy Clarkson during her Christmas party in 2017. Christina originally worried about Clarkson because of his reputation, but he had to prove interest for three months before they started seeing one other.
Since 2020, Clarkson and his wife have featured their lives on Diddly Squat Farm in the Amazon Prime television show Clarkson’s Farm. No matter the curiosity about their romance, Lisa has noted she is not interested in marriage, only joking that her “husband” is only a name given to their farm animals.
