MJHodge Art Naive Artist and Reverse Glass Painter
I am a British-American naive artist working in a reverse oil on glass painting technique grounded in the Croatian naive tradition. I am also an art educator - sharing my enthusiasm, expertise and skills with others through a range of community based events and small group lessons. I am happy to welcome visitors to my home studio to learn more about my painting techniques and to view works in progress.
I am currently working on a new exhibition project (working title "Asking the Moon") to showcase the best of contemporary British and Croatian naive art in a touring exhibition for 2019-2020. For more information please read my Call for Partners here: https://mjhodgeart.co.uk/blogs/views/project-proposal-working-title-asking-the-moon
I also run 'Creative Carers' which offers art-based activities and mini-respite for Carers wanting to develop their creative interests. Visit creative carers.co.uk for more details.
I have been the Chairperson of the Burgess Hill Artists group (formerly Burgess Hill Open Studios /BHOS) since 2014.
