Alison Hodge

Hi, my name is Alison Hodge and I currently reside in Avon, Indiana with my husband and 3 young children.  I have always had a love for nature and art. As a little girl, I would sit in our garden with a sketchbook in hand and spend hours drawing the flowers and insects.  I carried on my passion for both the arts and nature into adulthood and received a degree in zoology and a minor in studio art from Western Illinois University. I spent a summer in Africa working with penguins and later became the animal care manager at the Lemur Conservation Foundation in Florida. had a very fulfilling career in the conservation/zoo field but stepped away from it around the time my second son was born. Since then, I’ve picked my paint brushes back up and have been creating ever since.
