— Antionette Simmons Hodges

Her work spans bold acrylics and layered mixed media — fabric, tissue, found objects. Alongside that, a separate series of Continuous Line Paintings takes a different approach entirely: a single unbroken line, becoming a figure. Color carries the feeling throughout — saturated, unexpected, never just decorative.
