In
Jody's own words, "I propose that mankind
shares a common reality, just beyond the range
of normal sight. The images are emotions, those
which are unseen but felt... unheard but known.
There are moments when we have acute awareness
of existence... like the feeling of exultation
when one stands on the edge of a mountain, or
the top of a crescent moon. Each man's physical
adventure is unique, but the abstract language
of feelings, and our realization of existence
is our shared experience. My paintings are part
of my personal adventure. Memory simplifies
the setting. I no longer see the mountains edge,
but I do see the feelings it stirred. Art is
a tradition that helps define who we are and
brings us a vision of who we can become. My
painting is my expression and request for a
more beautiful, peaceful and harmonious world."
