BG Hodges '66
New England School of Art
With an extensive background in graphic arts and design, BG Hodges' strengths are in creative problem solving and the visual arts. Mr. Hodges develops his students' graphic art skills through real world graphic challenges. He is constantly learning and trying new materials and software. With 14 years of computer design experience, he believes in balancing strong computer skills with hands-on project construction. The major programs he teaches are Adobe Photoshop, Painter, Bryce (3D and animation), and Avid Cinema.
Mr. Hodges was the founder and owner of Foggy Bog Signs in Center Tuftonboro, New Hampshire, where he worked with clients to design and create signs and logos in many mediums from advertisements to carved signs with gold leaf to etched glass. Walk through the center of Wolfeboro and you will walk through a live portfolio of Mr. Hodges' work, as he has designed and crafted many of the signs for local business owners.
He has always been an "Art Guy". After high school he served in the Army for three years as a cartographic draftsman and attended the New England School of Art in Boston, leaving at the death of his father to work in family businesses.
When he's not in his studio, he might be found playing a variety of instruments in his church ensemble or in a local contra dance band. He is also the director of teen ministries at the Evangelical Bible Church in Wolfeboro.
Mr. Hodges lives off campus with his wife, Joan, and their children. His daughter Sara is a 2007 Brewster graduate and daughter Anne is a 2003 graduate.
