As the Founder and CEO of Leontine Linens, Jane Scott Hodges is an entrepreneur and lifestyle authority known for her influence on couture linens for everyday use and establishing their relevance in contemporary life and entertaining.
Over the past three decades, Jane Scott has carved out a distinct niche in her field, creating custom linens that marry luxury and practicality for modern living. Her career continues to set her apart — innovating through heritage-driven techniques and maintaining an unwavering commitment to quality. As a noted lecturer and author, she inspires new approaches to living and entertaining, blending craftsmanship with everyday function. Her passion was first sparked by the historic Eleanor Beard Studio in Kentucky, where she witnessed the artistry that still defines Leontine today — now a sister company acquired in 2002. Every design she creates captures that same sense of intention and beauty, establishing her as a leading authority in the design, creation, and use of fine linens — and a lasting influence in the world of home design.
Gibbes Women’s Council
The Gibbes Women’s Council supports the Museum through the time, talents, and resources of its members, and the annual Art of Design Luncheon and Lecture is one of the Museum’s leading fundraisers. Last year, Art of Design raised a record-breaking $100,000. Members of the Women’s Council vote on how funds are allocated, and proceeds directly support exhibitions, education programming, or the general operating budget.
