Sharon K. Hodges A native Texan, I fell to earth in 1955.* My genetic family includes an artist aunt, farmers, engineers, social workers, architects, missionaries, CIA, geologists, gardeners, golfers (lots of golfers), historians, teachers, all creative in their fields. I am blessed with many acquaintances, and a few lifelong friends. My mother still has the first four oil paintings I produced at age 10-ish. I forgive her. They are not museum worthy.really, they are not even attic-worthy. Nevertheless, thus began my love affair with paint. At age 12, a landscape sold for $70.00. Intimidated, I abandoned paint for teenage life in the seventies. What a chicken. Flash forward > four decades of education (BFA), weddings, divorce, careers, daughter, houses, passports, pets, (the stuff of life, lived), and I still want paint. No, actually, I need paint. Finally, painting is allowed priority. Finally, rejection is merely a learning curve. Finally, when the work sells, I am thrilled, intimidation be damned. Finally, time is stolen to 'shut up and paint'. Life is good. I sincerely hope you enjoy the work of all artists represented here. Buy something, you know you want to.art enriches life. *This is not a lie..I was a breach birth.
