In the shade of a big house

Judy Hodge, an accomplished artist based in the chilly yet beautiful northeast, captures the emotions and mood of the landscapes she explores. Describing her style as modern impressionism, she emphasizes movement, light, energy, and the force of nature in her bold and painterly works. Hodge’s art evokes a strong sense of place, resonating with collectors who admire the expressive qualities of artists like the Canadian Group of Seven, Charles Burchfield, and Van Gogh.

Recently, Hodge reflected on a pivotal moment in her artistic journey: “I was out near Lake Erie. I walked into the backyard of a big old house, which was casting a sharp shadow over the yard. This is more bold than I usually go, and I believe it is the start of a next place for me to go with my painting.” This exploration of bold contrasts marks an evolution in her work, showcasing her continual growth and deepening connection to the natural and emotional landscapes she portrays.
