Based in Glasgow, Barbara Hodge is inspired by the natural, organic elements of the environment, reflected through her work in a unique contemporary style. This is achieved by contrasting a soft background with a more clearly defined foreground image. The strongly sculptured shapes and forms are not representative, but rather evocative of the natural shapes, textures and patterns we encounter in the natural environment. Combined with Barbara's own, distinctive painting style, the resulting images are certainly captivating, with their own ambiance of tranquility.
