More about me

I was born in Boston, Massachusetts of artist parents. I was educated in Boston schools, majoring in art in High School. I attended the Massachusetts College of Art, receiving a BFA in Illustration and Design in 1955. Twenty years after graduating and raising my four children, I returned to MassArt and entered into one of their first programs for a Masters Degree. I graduated in 1975 with a Masters degree in Art Education and went on to teach art in the Andover, Massachusetts Public Schools for 23 years. I retired in 1998. After retiring, I moved to Acton, Maine with my husband and returned to painting. Sadly, my husband passed away in 2003.

I am a member of the Sanford/Springvale Art Association of Sanford, ME. I was President and Vice President of that association for several years.

I also sing with an a cappella Women's Barbershop Chorus, Sounds of the Seacoast and am a member of a quartet called Center Stage.

Activities

I paint, of course. I have a web site of my paintings. The link is: http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/1-anne-hodge.html. I also sing in a women's Barbershop chorus, Sounds of the Seacoast and in a quartet, Center Stage.
