Jodi Dann

Lemon Drops, Original Painting

2022

Artist Comments
Artist Jodi Dann paints an image of lemons with a contemporary approach. The zesty fruit falls throughout the composition as a literal play on the title. Jodi adds bits of patterns and stamping for unique points of interest. The violet underpainting faintly emerges surrounding each yellow lemon shape.

About the Artist
In 1999, Jodi Dann seized the opportunity to become a full-time painter. Today, her paintings read like hazy memories of imagined faraway places. The compositions are abstract, but possess strong architectural elements, recalling bridges, arches, and doorways. Each piece retains an overall sense of place without prescribing a location, allowing the viewer to form an individualized connection with the work. Jodi paints from her cozy studio on her property in Oregon while listening to a variety of music on Pandora. She doesn’t feel the need to strive for perfection in her work. “Life isn’t perfect,” says Jodi. “Why force a painting to be?”
