Melanie J Hodge (nee Hawkes)
I
am a British-American artist, illustrator and writer specialising
in book illustrations and greeting cards for children and families.
I grew up in La Selva Beach, Santa Cruz County, California,
and graduated from Willamette
University in Salem, Oregon, with a BA in Literature.
I have worked in theatres, bookshops and offices on both sides
of the Atlantic and now make my permanent base in the United
Kingdom. As a result of my husband’s career I continue
to travel, finding inspiration wherever we go. And, thanks
to modern technology I am able to answer briefs and fill commissions
from around the globe.
I particularly enjoy creating characters, telling stories
and painting scenes that inspire my imagination and celebrate
the world around us.
