Artist Comments
An abstract painting in shades of mustard, red, black, and a hint of blue. Artist Jodi Dann shares how she loves being in the moment while taking a walk around and in between rocks and boulders. Being an avid hiker, she often takes spontaneous adventures resulting in wondrous inspiration. "I often come across old fences that are no longer useful but intriguing," shares Jodi. She renders utilizing layers of acrylic adding marks from pens, pencils, and oil pastels.

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?”
