Fiona’s flux exhibition at Indigo Crow
After decades in the business world, Fiona Hodges finally made the leap to follow her true passion - art.
In 2006, she briefly stepped away to earn a BA (Hons) in Fine Art but soon returned to office life. It wasn’t until the COVID lockdowns offered time to reflect that she left the day job for good and embraced creativity full-time.
Fiona describes her work as delightfully irreverent, which is always evolving. Ceramic sculptures reimagine the famous and infamous as pun-filled human-animal hybrids like David Meowie and Freddie Purrcury.
In collage and mixed media, she fuses found images with paint to build surreal scenes: giant creatures scaling cityscapes, women riding pineapples through space, and body-swapped beasts in curious worlds.
Lately, her painting has taken a more expressive, abstract turn - led by instinct, chance, and a love of the unexpected.
Fiona also co-founded a local artists’ collective to tackle the city’s lack of exhibition space. The result? Indigo Crow Gallery on Burton Road - a thriving gallery and shop that hosts exhibitions and creative workshops.
Art took on new meaning after the sudden loss of her husband late last year. Though grief quietened her creativity for a time, she says the studio became a place of healing and rediscovery.
Her solo exhibition, Flux, from runs until October 19 at Indigo Crow Gallery, 57 Burton Road, Lincoln is the result of that journey - bold, heartfelt, and richly imaginative.
“Come along—you might just find a piece of your own story in my wild and wonderful world.”
