Painter, Printmaker, and Draftsman.

M.E. Hodge is an artist and MFA candidate at George Washington University. A recipient of the Dean's Award, Corcoran Quasi Endowment Award, Winnifred Todd Farah Scholarship, and Morris Lewis Student Endowment Award, she previously studied at Wake Forest University as a Presidential Scholar and Honors student in the Arts. Her studies in political science and studio art have taken her throughout North and South America and Europe.

Working primarily in painting and drawing, Hodge explores how family stories, historical narratives, and collective myths are inherited across generations. Drawing from personal history, military imagery, folklore, theater, and religious traditions, she uses fragmentation, symbolism, and layered compositions to examine the ways memory shifts over time and how inherited experiences continue to shape the present.

Her work is driven by questions of identity, nostalgia, and belonging: How do we inherit stories without becoming trapped inside them? Through paintings, prints, and drawings, Hodge invites viewers to consider the tensions between remembrance and reinvention, preservation and change, and the enduring ways personal and collective histories continue to echo through contemporary life.

She is currently based in Washington, D.C.
