Artist Name: Suzanne Hodge

I’m mainly an oil painter whose favorite subject is cityscapes. Nighttime reflections in the city often evoke a feeling of mystery and possibility that speak to the artist in me.

My first foray into painting was in 2011 on a three-month stay in the market town of Tralee, Ireland. My sister and I rented a little stone cottage and would ride our bikes out to neighboring towns every day and in the evening we would walk down to the bay on the road that passed by our cottage. It seemed I had no choice but to buy some paints and try, in my rudimentary way, to capture the beauty of that place.

That first painting I did in 2011 was pretty stiff and simple. Since then, I have taken some courses at the NH Institute of Art and specifically a studio class with Patrick McKay who has helped me to find my artistic voice/style.

In 2013, I rented a space here at Western Avenue Studios and haven’t looked back since. I paint either in the studio from a photo reference or out in the town.
