Memories by Jan Hodge Closing Reception

Join us Final Friday, May 29th from 6-9pm for the Opening Reception of Memories: Time Remembered by Jan Hodge.

Jan Hodge is a contemporary realist painter focused on light, mood, and the emotional resonance of place. 

Working primarily in oil, with select works in acrylic, Jan’s practice is rooted in close observation and technical precision. Her work emphasizes atmosphere and the subtle interplay of light, creating compositions that are both visually grounded and quietly evocative.

Drawing inspiration from rural landscapes and lived environments, she explores themes of memory, passage of time, and a deep sense of place. Through disciplined composition and a refined approach to color, her paintings balance clarity of form with a nuanced, contemplative mood.

While grounded in realism, Jan’s work extends beyond direct representation, using light and tone to suggest narrative and emotional depth. Each painting reflects a commitment to craftmanship and restraint, offering viewers a space for reflection within familiar, yet deeply personal, imagery.

Her work appeals to collectors who value technical skill paired with emotional subtlety, and who are drawn to imagery that speaks to both permanence and change within the American landscape.

The Gallery 12 featured 3D artist for the month of May is Casey TZ Smith. Join us at 7:00pm to hear her Artist Talk about her fine ceramic processes.
