Jody has a diverse painting style that has developed over the years and through thousands of paintings. Her early works were charming children's illustrations that she sold at Northwest art shows to pay for her studies.

Jody's watercolor technique is self-taught. Her engineering degree is reflected in her compositions and demonstrates Jody's love for mathematics and geometry. She seamlessly blends these elements with her imaginative inner visions to create her unique style.

She is often asked why she uses Aboriginal, Indigenous, and geometric symbols. Her ongoing studies have led her to discover many ancient cultures and the beauty of their designs. By working respectfully with these images, Jody contributes to the meaning of our history and reintegrates their symbols into our modern culture.

I propose that humanity shares a common reality, just beyond the reach of normal sight. Images are emotions, those that are invisible but felt... inaudible but known. There are moments when we have an acute awareness of existence... like the feeling of exaltation when standing at the edge of a mountain, or at the top of a crescent moon. The physical adventure of each person is unique, but the abstract language of feelings, and our realization of existence is our common experience. My paintings are part of my personal adventure. Memory simplifies the scenery. I no longer see the edge of the mountain, but I see the feelings it evoked.

Art is a tradition that helps define who we are and brings us a vision of what we can become. My painting is my expression and my plea for a more beautiful, peaceful, and harmonious world.

I wish you an endless childhood,
