Lemons & Dahlias, Original Painting

2023

Artist Comments
Artist Jodi Dann presents a floral still life of lemons and dahlias—bringing two of her favorite things together from her garden. "Look closely to see lines of barbed wire running through the painting, as well as scratching to show under paint to the surface," says Jodi. She includes this intriguing accent for a unique touch, always coming across them while hiking and on local country walks.

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?”
