The Liriodendron has the honor of featuring a retrospective of the works of Harford County Living Treasure Joan Henderson Hodous in celebration of her 90th birthday! A lifelong Harford County resident, Joan is an integral part of our community’s history and cultural heritage. A passion for art and education led Joan to a career as an art teacher in the public school system and at her own studio in Bel Air. In her remarkable life, she has been a painter, photographer, poet, business owner, collector, philanthropist, advocate for women, world traveler, wife and mother, and more.

This visionary has developed a substantial body of work over more than 75 years inspired by a vibrant life of travel, the outdoors, love, and loss. Many of these works will be on display at the Liriodendron from April 30 through June 4, with a private preview on Wednesday, April 23 at the Harford County Cultural Arts Board’s annual meeting.

The official opening of the exhibition will be on Mother’s Day – Sunday, May 11 from 11 am to 3 pm – but will be on view each Wednesday from 1 to 5 pm from April 30 through June 4. Private viewings may also be scheduled by contacting us at 410-879-4424 or info@liriodendron.com.
