Visual artist Barry Hodgson received his B.A. in Fine Art from the University of Guelph in 1978 and has been based in Hamilton since 1988. Barry paints in oils on canvas and panel and makes works on paper with ink, pastels and watercolours. Landscape subjects dominate. With a focus on mark-making and composition, he makes finished work in the field as much as possible and then expands on these explorations in the studio.
