Dunedin-born painter Francis Hodgkins, who died in 1947, spent most of her career in Europe and Britain and moved on average six times a year, and every time she moved, the landscape sparked a change to her style.

Mary Kisler discusses her journey following Hodgkins' paintings across Europe.

Mary Kisler is the Senior Curator, Mackelvie Collection, International Art, at the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki.
