This open studio provides experienced students with a self‑directed environment for drawing or painting. While formal instruction is not included, guidance and consultation will be available upon request. Students are responsible for bringing their own materials and for cleaning their workspace at the end of each session. For oil painters, only light solvents such as Turpenoid or Gamsol and Gamblin’s solvent‑free Galkyd are permitted to support an environmentally mindful studio..

• Bio: Jody earned her MFA in Painting from the Academy of Art College in 2000. She taught color theory and figure drawing there for 12 years. She has been teaching at the Center for Community Arts since 2001. She is endlessly curious about art media and have done a bit of almost everything 2-D (and a little 3-D!) Jody's main style is classical realism (both figure and still life), but she also finds great joy in working in abstract and alla prima modes. Media include oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel/other drawing media, wax and mixed media. She loves to teach!
