Celebrating The Hero's Journey.
Art that's made at the intersection of personal development and connection with nature...
Jodi's artwork tells a story of the hero's journey. Much of her work is temporary, land-based, and/or site-specific. A small series of collectable original work is made for sale each year. Contact Jodi for commissions or information pertaining to gallery representation. Ā
GIRL IN THE WOODS
There once was a girl, who lived in the woods, in a nest on the tallest of treetopsā€¦
Through parable and environmental sculpture, Girl in the Woods is an ongoing body of work that explores Jodiā€™s personal journey through the lens of yoga philosophy and nature-based sculpture. Central to the story is a woodland character named Timberella.
While the parables follow the mythic structure of the heroā€™s journey, there is no mistaking this for an outdated fairytale: there is no frog prince, fairy godmother, or glass slipper. Girl in the Woods is made contemporary as the fallen hero rises of her own volition. Timberellaā€™s transformation is made possible through life lessons informed by art therapy, yoga and connection with nature. The artist has created six versions of Timberella which are available in fine art prints here.

A Hero's Journey Begins
As the story opens, Timberella is blown from her treetop nest during a Great Storm.
As she wanders the woods, she encounters forest creatures who impart their various wisdom teachings. Timberella recognizes that the search for home is not about finding her way back to the treetopā€¦
Her inspiring story is told in a lovely 26-page PDF download, complete with journal prompts and art images.
