Margaret Schnebly-Hodge

Raised in Florida, I grew up during the pop culture movement of the 1950’s and the counter-culture movement of the 1960’s. My mother’s work in outdoor recreation and father’s work in the space industry introduced me to a wide range of experiences from running barefoot outdoors in sunshine, rain, and storms, to watching rockets reach space and the moon for the first time. The complex and dynamic flux of societal norms and the ever-dynamic physical activity and environmental conditions of those years remain influential in my work today. I have always looked to the internal and the eternal to find meaning in the physical world. Thus, thoughts of the space time continuum and flux are essential to my work both as content and as process. My lines, marks, and colors are metaphors for the underlying energy and elements of all things physical and perceived. Using sgraffito, glazes, scumbling, and impasto I veil and reveal, disrupt, flow, harmonize, and agitate media across the surface.
