MJHodgeArt

I am an American-born, British-based artist living in West Sussex. I paint in oils on glass in a reverse technique I was introduced to while living in Croatia. I balance my art practice with caring for my two children, one of whom has Autism. My work fits within naïve, outsider, and folk art traditions. I became a member of the Association of British Naïve Artists in 2016 and in 2018 joined Outside In. My art plays an essential role in maintaining my mental wellbeing, it is both my escape from the world and my strength within it.

Shipping to Europe

My art is inspired by a European tradition and post-Brexit I continue to ship orders abroad. Please note charges on arrival (ie import or customs fees applied by the destination country) are at the buyer's cost and will vary according to country and value of your order. 

Changes to ALL Shipping Costs

Sadly I am no longer be able to offer free shipping as postage was costing me more than my sales profit. I am now operating a choice of flat standard or express (tracked and signed for) postage at check out based on my average package weight and size and the destination postal address.

Please note that if offered PayPal Express Check Out your postage costs will be calculated after you’ve authorised payment. I suggest working through your order and only choosing your method of payment at the very end when all costs are clear.
