Now based in Queensland, Hoddinott’s practice is still grounded in a distinctly raw and intuitive approach. Her paintings, often described as deliberately primitive, are marked by bold colouration, naive symbolism, and fluid, gestural compositions. Beneath their immediate visual energy lies a layered emotional depth, as her works navigate personal memory, psychological terrain, and broader social undercurrents. As arts writer Ashley Crawford observed, her paintings “emit a raucous howl of emotions,” inviting both immediate engagement and sustained contemplation.

Hoddinott has exhibited extensively since 1994 and has been recognised as a finalist in several major art prizes, including the Alice Prize (1997), the John Leslie Art Prize (2000), and the Fleurieu Biennale Art Prize (2000). Her work is held in public and private collections both in Australia and internationally.
