NBPL release - The North Bend Public Library is pleased to present an exhibit showcasing the work of local artist Len Hodgeman. This exhibit will feature a variety of work from abstract expressionism to digital collage and nature photography. Much of his work is created using digital tools, by replicating forms and colors multiple times until the magic happens. Since the originals are in digital form, his work is highly customizable for those interested in purchasing a piece from his collection. Changes available include the size, orientation, color palette, and the individual elements that make up the piece. Len Hodgeman, originally from Vermont, has a professional background in printing, publishing, and providing commercial illustrations. Since his retirement, Len has been able to more fully pursue his passion for digital art and has been thrilled to showcase his work in several local venues on the Southern Oregon coast. In his free time, Len is an active member of the local folk dancing community and enjoys square dancing, square dance calling, Contra, and English Country Dance. He has also published two collections of poetry and short stories, and he is currently working on a new novel expected to be published in the spring of 2027.
