Perhaps of greater significance than Professor Hoey's artistic endeavors was his devotion to and expertise in teaching. Beginning his teaching career at the Houston Museum of Fine Art's Glassell School, he served as dean of the school from 1967 to 1970. He joined the faculty of the Department of Art and Art History at The University of Texas in 1978. Working primarily in the art education and visual art studies division, Professor Hoey established himself as a gifted teacher who, because of his experience as both practicing artist and gallery owner, could provide a unique perspective to his students. Students frequently remarked on Professor Hoey's gentleness and warm guidance, as well as his great integrity as both an artist and a person.
