Hello, I'm Jason Hodges, the founder of Inkwell Fine Art Prints, which operates Artbyashodges.com, based in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, California. My journey into the world of art and entrepreneurship has been deeply influenced by my mother’s vibrant African American art prints. Antionette Simmons Hodges’ dedication to capturing Black culture, history, and identity through her African American art prints has inspired me personally and professionally. Her art fuels my passion for sharing these powerful stories with a broader audience.

Beyond my love for art, I enjoy hiking and exploring new destinations, with recent travels taking me to Tokyo, Sydney, Vancouver, Berlin, and Lisbon. I have a background in crafting, having previously created a small leather accessories brand, which allowed me to express my creativity through hands-on work. Additionally, I’ve designed all aspects of our website, ensuring it reflects the quality of our African American art prints. With my background in marketing, I created a platform to celebrate and elevate African American artistry, especially through African American art prints. Welcome to our journey.

Turning Challenges into Opportunities

Being laid off was a turning point for me, offering an unexpected chance to pursue my passions. Rather than seeing it as a setback, I saw it as an opportunity to build something meaningful. Inspired by my mother’s African American art prints, I founded Inkwell Fine Art Prints. Her work, deeply rooted in Black culture and identity, guided me in this new venture.
