About the Artist
Sarah Hodges
Honolulu, Hawaii
For Sarah Hodges, growing up in the nature of Hawai’i deeply influences everything she does. From painting, to dancing, to playing violin, to writing – Sarah feels a resonant whisper of the island breezes, the lively rhythmic movement of the rolling, crashing waters of the ocean, and the gentle touch of the plant life’s assuring presence – throughout all that she experiences and creates.
At age 12, she began studying with her grandfather, the renowned classical painter Snowden Hodges. She went on to study art formally in New York at the Grand Central Academy and in Italy at the Florence Academy of Art, where she spent a year reproducing great masters’ pieces. After four years of formal art training abroad, Sarah returned to the islands where she currently resides and works in her home studio. Her work is inspired by her love of music and dance, and her vision for healing in this world.
