Quotes:"The work is sensuous and expressionistic, and has much in common with contemporary British painting in its exaltation of paint." - E.M. - The Art Newspaper."Hodnett shocks and repels, yet one is drawn back time and time again to be seduced and energized by the sheer beauty of paint application, the mastery of space articulation, the exploitation of the expressive aspects of visual experience and artifice." - Marilyn Martin - Former Director, South African National Gallery.

Studied Fine Art at Rhodes University, South Africa, (1971). A member of the Grahamstown Group (1969 - 1978). Appointed Head of Photography (1975 - 1985) and Head of The Painting and Drawing School at Rhodes University (1985 - 1996) Moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 1997.
