ARTIST STATEMENT

Studio 42 is home to crafter and graphic artist Michelle Hodgson. Michelle's work is based on her love for vintage motifs and repurposing, breathing fresh life into old and unused items. She uses linoprinted motifs and graphics to create surface pattern design onto decoupage papers and items for the home. She marries these fresh designs with found papers and fabric pattern to create work with a strong graphic tone with a touch of nostalgia.
