The Alliance for the Arts in Fort Myers is presenting a solo exhibition of works by Florida-based abstract painter Margaret Schnebly Hodge titled “Bits and Pieces: The Realm of Creation.” Hodge’s art has tended to draw on her interest in existential themes. Works in this new show reflect an exploration of how the cerebral cortex of the human brain synthesizes bits and pieces of memory.
The exhibition runs through June 9. There will be an opening reception Friday, May 5 from 5 - 7 p.m., including a Q&A session with the artist at 6 p.m. We’re joined by Hodge in studio for a conversation about her work, what inspires her art, and insights into her creative process.
