Hoffecker holds a Master of Fine Arts (2018) from Plymouth University (England) and Transart Institute, New York (USA) and a first-class Bachelor (Honours) in Fine Art (2015) from the University of Gloucestershire (England). She previously obtained a Diploma of Fine Arts (2013) from Vancouver Island School of Art, Victoria (Canada). Her work has been exhibited in solo, duo and group exhibitions in Germany, England and Canada.

“My paintings extend organic shapes within abstracted spaces and imagined landscapes, playing with depth, line and colour. Organic material analysis and interpretation became part of my exploration process. I work with oil paint as I use organic imagery as inspiration; oil paint has a very different application regime than acrylic paint and can be worked with longer, allowing me to create subtle gradations. Colour impacts how I integrate organic ideas with abstract shapes on canvas. During my years of studying fine art, I engaged in purposeful color theory, influenced by Itten, Albers and Goethe.”
