space Between Forms
An abstract series that uses simple forms and expressive layers of color to explore calm, space, and movement

The composition balances stillness and motion, creating a contemplative sense of space and depth.

A quiet study in balance and atmosphere, Before the Rise pairs saturated blue with softened neutral tones and simple geometric divisions. Layered textures and subtle tonal shifts create depth within the composition, suggesting stillness just before transition—like the calm held in the moments before first light.

Fire in the Sky captures the intensity of light meeting water through bold color and simplified form. A radiant sun glows against layered sky tones, while deep blue water reflects its warmth in scattered light.

Vivid, bold, joyous. Pinks and oranges, the curve of the neck, the poise of the beak — this piece doesn’t shy away. Movement is suggested in how light plays off the feathers, in the elegance of the pose, in the momentary attention the creature holds.
Oil on canvas, 24 x 18 x .75in. Comes framed with black floating frame.

Dog Life
“One of my favorite things to do in the whole world is capture what I call “personality moments” from the three rescue pups that roam my house, and hunt squirrels. This is an ongoing series, and I’m excited to announce that I am now accepting commissions.” - Jodi
Squirrel! is an expressive figurative portrait of a dog mid-alert. The upward tilt of the head and focused gaze convey instinct and curiosity. Loose, energetic brushwork and a vibrant field of blues and violets heighten the sense of immediacy. This painting translates a familiar canine moment into a contemporary, painterly statement.
