I paint the things that happen in the community … I paint about people in the community … what happens to them … what they do and what really hurts them… that makes me hurt inside too … that painting makes the bad feeling go away.” Hobson has works held in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Victoria and the Cairns Regional Art Gallery.
