Meet Lisa Hodges - Artist

"A true artist is not one who is inspired but one who inspires others."

I was born in Sunderland England and immigrated to Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 1979. I've been living in and around the foothills of southern Alberta since 1983 and moved to Water Valley in 2017. This is where my soul, purpose and passion were aligned, inspiring me to create once again.

I graduated from Cochrane High School with honors in art. I am mostly a self-taught artist and enjoy working with a variety of mediums like pencil, pastel and watercolor. I have a strong connection with all animals and my goal is to capture their personality in all my works. Throughout the years I have enjoyed creating many works of art using leather, antler, wood and resin.

In 2023 I switched gears as I longed for color. I traded by graphite pencils for pastel and haven't looked back. I feel a deep connection with all animals and their different strengths and attributes.
