Biography
Sonya Hodge is from the Lardil people from Mornington Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland. She lives and works in Mildura on the banks of the Murray River in Northwest Victoria. She was commissioned in 1993 (the World Indigenous Peoples Year) by the City of Melbourne, along with fellow artist, Maree Clarke, to paint contemporary designs onto poles that were placed in Melbourne’s City Square. In 2005 she and another Mildura based artist, Karen Clarke-Edwards, were commissioned to work on the 'Yuyu’ possum skin cloak for the statewide Possum Skin Cloak project which saw 37 cloaks created and then paraded by Victorian elders as part of the opening ceremony of the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games.
