“I love creating and teaching art to others,” says Barbara Hodges, an artist for 23 years. “I believe that art should be shared with the world and used to promote change and revelation. I hope that my art will speak to the art audience.”

Self-taught, she enjoys attending art workshops to enhance her artistic talents, skills and abilities. “The pleasure and joy in creating something that visually tells a story, thus inspiring and empowering people is why I love to create art.”
