Following a chance encounter at Watermark last Autumn we are delighted to welcome Winifred Hodge to Watermark Gallery’s selection of artists this year.
As is so often the case at Watermark, owner of the gallery, Liz Hawkes started chatting to Winifred who was staying with a friend near by. On mentioning that she was an artist Liz realised that they had known each other 20 years previously, when Liz managed a guild of artists in the Yorkshire Dales. The two had lost touch when Winifred moved from the Dales back to Edinburgh.
Liz said, “When I started the gallery I tried to find Winifred’s details online to no avail. It was very frustrating as I have always loved her work since my time managing a group of 28 artists in the Dales (which was 20 years ago this June!). It was such a surprise to realise I was talking to her in the gallery. Roll on a few months and I’m very pleased to announce we now have a beautiful selection of original paintings by Winifred Hodge back in North Yorkshire and here at Watermark Gallery”.
