Jodie is an American urban landscape painter based out of Boston, Massachusetts. Her work can be seen in the State Street offices in Fort Point, on permanent reserve at the Boston Public Library, permanent exhibit at Factory 63 in Fort Point, and featured in several publications including Daily Art Space, Apartment Therapy, Boston Dig, Boston Metro, Big Red & Shiny, and Abstraks Magazine.

Visually described as stripped-down graphic environments, Jodie’s paintings reference a nostalgic depiction seen in vintage travel magazines — a place just out of reach. On first glance they are a mass of simple building blocks, yet they bring the urban setting alive with exotic color; they are loud, yet poetically calm; familiar, yet simultaneously part of an altered memory. The complexity of the city provides spontaneity in her work, allowing her to create a portal to a re-imagined place.

Jodie grew up in Buffalo, NY and studied at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Industrial Design. She received a Bachelors of Fine Arts from the Art Institute of Boston, and a Masters of Science in Art Administration from Boston University. Her inspiration to become an artist is due to her father, a retired photographer and art teacher. When she is not painting, you can find her searching for decent Buffalo wings here in Boston or trying to sneak her french bulldog, "shorts" into various pubs around the city.
