Felice Hodges is a painter and sculptor. After studying art at Cornell University in New York, she returned to London where
she worked as an art historian and journalist. She is the author of numerous books on art and antiques including The
Design Source Book, The Phaidon Guide to Glass and Period Pastimes.

Over the last fifteen years, Felice has turned her attention to painting and sculpting, influenced by both the 20th century
American colourists and abstract expressionists, and the traditions of British landscape art, from Turner to Peter Lanyon.
Felice’s work is greatly inspired by the river Thames, and her studio on its banks provides an ideal backdrop from which to
explore the water and towpaths.

Her Blue Series of canvases has been devoted specifically to the river’s activity – its currents, tides and industrial uses.
These large-scale, abstract works were featured in her second solo show at the Riverside Gallery, Richmond, in 2002.
Other works (in gouache, acrylic, collage, charcoal and crayon, on paper) focus on landscapes, from the hill lochs of
Scotland to the beaches of Cornwall – usually there is some element of water that is explored in the composition.
Felice’s work has been exhibited at galleries in the USA and England. She has had two solo shows since 2000, and is
currently working towards another exhibition devoted to her recent works in gouache.
