| Artist Biography |
Antionette (Toni) Simmons Hodges, begin to exhibit her paintings in 1994, with a solo show at Trinity College in Washington, D.C.-where she received her Master's degree in art education. Her next show was a one-woman exhibition at the Francine Haskins Studio, in Washington, D.C.
Her medium of choice is acrylics, for her stylized flat figures. Her Southern heritage has had a very profound influence on her and her work. Her paintings show a celebration African American Life!
Toni's Diva in Black and White Poka Dots was used to advertise the Common Bond IX Exhibition at the Strathmore Gallery Bethesda, Maryland (Summer 2004). Over twenty-five of her paintings have been reproduced and marketed as cards by the Ethnographic Card Company of Santa Barbara, California.
Toni's perspective on her art...
"...My medium of choice for my stylized flat figures is acrylics. I like the versatility of the paint and its quick drying time. It enables me to paint quickly. The use of bright, bold contrasting colors with shades of umber, sienna, black, and taupe skin tones has become my signature style. My southern heritage of my early years going south to my grandparent's farm and my later years of collecting Black Memorabilia has had a very profound influence upon me and my work. I feel that my paintings show a celebration of African American life! It is my intent to evoke thought and to stimulate the emotions of my viewers..." |
