About Us
The Hodgepodge House is an indie publishing house, a work of art, a haven for whimsy … and an actual house.
I’m Nancy – the writer, the artist, and the creator of the “Hodgepodge.”
Ron keeps the music alive, and also the plants and the fish pond, which he built from scratch.
What started out as just another creative project for me became something more.
The idea of a hodgepodge of weird and broken materials coming together to make art, transitioned into a way of thinking. I created the Hodgepodge Heart – a logo and a philosophy, and then wrote my first book under “Hodgepodge Heart Publishing.”
You can find my Author Page HERE if you are interested!
I am also a welder, a painter, a sculptor, a fabric artist, and the creator of the Hodgepodge House art, inside and out.
One of our neighbors once asked, “So, is what you’re going for, like, Halloween all the time?” I don’t think we realized it until then, but yes, that is probably the best description of our creative search for magic through a hodgepodge of art, light, and materials.
Why make a website? We get so much joy from our weird, artsy space that we thought we would share. Then it grew into writing and art and community building, and a whole hodgepodge world was born.
The owners of the Hodgepodge House are Trouble (who manifested her name) and Pocket (who used to fit in one):
