Curiosity Pulls. Creativity Responds. Evolution Follows.
I used to think Lost Edges described the way I wanted to paint. Now I realize it describes the way I live.
I’m Jody—artist, writer, explorer, health enthusiast, and curious observer examining life through various perspectives.
MY CREATIVE WORK IS NOT ALWAYS THE DESTINATION. IT'S EVIDENCE OF EXPERIENCES THAT ECHO.

Pelican Patrol
48" x 24" Oil on Canvas
I was intrigued by pelicans along the Hilton Head shore soaring low over the waves, then plunging headfirst into the water with a targeted force that reminded me of a trained squadron. They were nothing like the white, easygoing lake pelicans I know from Colorado. What echoed was not the birds as a subject, but the experience of being there: the glide, the speed, the rhythm of the waves, and the way the pelicans and their environment became a single subject.
MY SKETCHBOOK SPACE IS A FLEXIBLE "NOTEBOOK" OF EXPERIENCES, OBSERVATIONS, IDEAS, AND CREATIVE PROCESS.
Field Notes
Finding “Rhett”
Sometimes focusing on getting something perfectly correct does not communicate true essence.
NOTICING. QUESTIONING. EXPLORING. PONDERING. CREATING. EVOLVING.
