Since 2003 she has occasionally taught a course, Art of New Jersey, in which students write essays for the website Art & Architecture of New Jersey.
Prof. Ogden's publications have focused on 19th century American painting and photography. Her book, Yosemite (2015) is a cultural history of a spectacular scenic location. It was preceded by a major essay, “California as Kingdom Come,” in the exhibition catalog Yosemite: Art of an American Icon (Los Angeles: Autry Museum of Western Heritage, 2006).
Other recent publications include two essays for the Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia (PhiladelphiaEncyclopedia.org): "Painters & Painting" and "The Peale Family of Artists."

Her most ambitious curatorial project took place in 2008, when she curated and wrote a catalog for the exhibition "From Cape May to Cairo: The Work of George Washington Nicholson" (Oceanville, NJ: The Noyes Museum of Art, 2008).
Early in her career Prof. Ogden received Luce Foundation Fellowships (1988, 1989), a Virginia Steele Scott Fellowship (Huntington Library, San Marino, CA, Summer 1988), a Smithsonian Institution Short-Term Visit Award (1988), a Hilla von Rebay Guggenheim Museum Fellowship (1981), a Guggenheim Museum Curatorial Internship (1981), and a Smithsonian Institution Exhibition Internship (1980).
Grants and awards received while teaching at Stockton include two New Jersey Humanities Council Mini-Grants (2006, 2008), Stockton College Distinguished Faculty Fellowships (1993, 2004), a grant from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority of Atlantic City (2001), and a National Endowment for the Arts Grant (1995).
Prof. Ogden's community engagement has included numerous lectures for arts groups and cultural institutions in the region, serving as a guest juror for local art exhibitions, and occasional curatorial collaborations.

Minors
Studio Art Minor
The Studio Art minor at Stockton University gives students the opportunity to explore drawing, painting, sculpture, and interdisciplinary artmaking while developing their own creative voice. Open to students in any major, it builds hands-on studio skills and visual thinking that enhance fields across the arts, humanities, and sciences. Students gain experience with both traditional techniques and contemporary digital tools, creating work that supports personal expression and creative problem-solving.
Art History Minor
The Art History minor at Stockton University offers a deeper understanding of visual culture across time, from architecture and painting to photography and contemporary media. Students learn to analyze and interpret images within historical and cultural contexts while strengthening research, writing, and critical thinking skills. This minor complements majors in history, communication, literature, and related fields, and supports paths in museums, education, and the broader creative industries.
Special Opportunities
Students have access to studios for printmaking, painting, drawing, sculpture, graphic design and computer graphics, and a photographic darkroom. The Stockton University Art Gallery hosts a variety of exhibitions throughout the year, including work by graduating BFA students. The Visual Arts Program offers regular bus trips to New York City and Philadelphia.
Interested students have the option of participating in Design for Community Partners, a service-learning internship in which design students collaborate with not-for-profit community partners to solve visual communication problems for the benefit of the entire community. Students also have the opportunity to participate in internships with other companies, studios, and museums, including the Noyes Museum of Art of Stockton University.
The Art Club is an extracurricular organization, open to any Stockton student that engages in art-related creative and social activities. Activities have included field trips; figure drawing sessions, silk screening, button making, and the production of a colorful calendar featuring student artwork.
Get to Know Visual Arts:
Alumni Success Highlights
I majored in Visual Communications, as well as Art Education during my time at Stockton College. I chose Stockton College to further my art education after touring the Arts and Sciences building. I liked that Stockton had many different new art studios to work in, including photography, painting, computer labs and a sculpture studio. Stockton also provides extra studio time to students outside of regular class time. In addition to the Arts program, the Education program at Stockton is very well known in New Jersey for producing highly skilled, qualified teachers. I heard great things about the professors who teach at Stockton, so I knew it was the right fit for me.
B.F.A. - Visual Communications Concentration
I chose Stockton because I was looking for a strong graphic design program, but also wanted an intimate class size. A mentor at my community college recommended Stockton, and I really liked the atmosphere of the campus after a tour. While attending Stockton all of my professors knew who I was, and where I was in their courses. At Stockton you'll never feel like you are being pushed through a program as a number or a statistic. I really value the relationships I built with my professors while I attended Stockton and still keep in contact with many of them today.
B.F.A. - Visual Communications Concentration
I was a Visual Arts major, and my concentration was on sculpture. Stockton was very highly recommended to me by some friends who had attended. I will admit that as a non-traditional (older) student, I was hesitant to begin my college career. But once I met my professors and began my classes, I knew I was in the right place! I’m so thankful for the time I got to spend with all of them.
