Please visit my linktree page for where to buy prints and cards going forward.
Due to changes in my personal circumstances I will be disabling the check out function and moving this domain off of shopify late autumn 2023. As soon as the domain host has been updated mjhodgeart.co.uk will return as an easier to navigate and easier for me to manage one-page wonder.
Thank you for your patience during this change over.

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.

Stocking the Shopify Shelves
Some stock items are running low, however online inventories are kept up to date so items listed in stock will be fulfilled though it may take a day or two longer for me to get to the post office. And if I'm out of stock of anything you're interested in, drop me an email. I'll be sure to make your order my next priority.
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.
I contiue to offer free quotes for shipping original art marked ‘Please Enquire.’ I have successfully shipped world-wide so please get in touch if anything catches your eye.
