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

Jody's watercolor technique is self-taught. Her engineering degree is reflected in her compositions and demonstrates Jody's love of 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. His lifelong studies introduced him to many ancient cultures and the beauty of their designs. By working respectfully with these images, Jody participates in 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 vision. Images are emotions, those that are invisible but felt... inaudible but known. There are times when we have an acute awareness of existence... like the feeling of exultation when standing on the edge of a mountain, or at the top of a crescent moon. Each man's physical adventure 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 decor. I can no longer see the edge of the mountain, but I see the feelings it aroused.

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

I wish you an endless childhood,
