Derrick Hodgson is a Toronto-based artist born in the southern Ontario farming community of Kettleby and graduated from the Ontario College of Art & Design in 1996. His work has appeared in several group and two-person exhibitions in Toronto and in the pages of Snowboard Canada and Flux magazines.

The majority of his imagery is based on his farming life past and relating those experiences to the urban environment: “The whole notion of Old Macdonald had a farm... just doesn't exist. It's an idealistic view that the majority of people don't even concern themselves with as they are too busy scurrying around trying to get their next quick fix.”
