About Jody

Thank you for visiting and I appreciate your interest in taking art lessons! I am passionate about art and love to teach drawing. I believe that being passionate isn't something that can be imitated.

Good drawing skills are an important aspect of art and while it may come naturally to some, I also believe that it can be a learned skill. You will learn to build your drawing skills with step-by-step drawing projects while gaining knowledge and practicing techniques. We will work together to accomplish your drawing goals.

Originally from Ohio, I moved to Deltaville, Virginia in 2023. I have a wonderful newly renovated studio, have won many awards and show my art at the RAL Art Center in Kilmarnock, VA.

Understanding the importance of the art lessons I took as a child, I taught art to young and old students in my studio in Ohio. I also taught art in a homeschool co-op environment for many years! These teaching experiences have allowed me to create many different types of art classes. I love teaching art and watching a whole new world open up to those willing to learn!

My daughter who home-schooled her children attended a home-school co-op that needed an art teacher. She called me one day and said "Mom, I think you can do this!" I thought about it, prayed about it, and thought, "Yes, I think I can!" I enjoyed preparing for classes and learned so much from teaching. It helped me just as much as it has helped my students. I also taught different types of art classes in my Ohio studio. I met hundreds of wonderful people during those years.

I am mainly self-taught but took art classes from a prominent local artist in my hometown as a child. I remember those lessons and loved it!

I was always active in the area of art but it wasn't until after my children grew up that I began taking classes at a local art center. I entered shows, won awards, and sold my paintings. I have enriched my own life in art by taking occasional workshops and classes with local and national artists.

I began to teach students almost 20 years ago at a homeschool co-op and developed many art classes. I was also able to teach for years in my studio in Ohio. I now live in Deltaville, VA, and have a wonderful studio where I can teach and work!

About the lesson

I give each student as much instruction as necessary and teach by demonstrating each technique or idea. I usually do each project with the student. We start with basic foundations, building additional skills with each lesson. There is so much to think about and good art takes much practice and patience!

I have taught all ages, kids, students, moms, dads, and senior citizens, and I enjoyed them all. I believe at about the age of ten, children can begin to understand the techniques I teach, Therefore, I like to accept students from the age of 10 to adults. I can also accommodate up to four students if you want to come with a friend or family member!

Find a teacher with passion for art and people. Also, find someone who wants to show you their work and talk about their art experiences.

I recently won a first-place blue ribbon at the RAL {Rapahanock Art League) Art Center in the Wild Things exhibit for my painting "Old and Gnarly"! I also sold that painting. I am very blessed to have received many awards throughout my art career.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Ask me anything! I want my students to believe in themselves and know that it takes patience and perseverance to learn a new skill, it doesn't happen overnight. I am here to help and would love to see you develop your dream of learning to draw, into reality.

Perfect! I just loved working with Jody! She was so fun and had a very deep passion for art which made learning even better. I would have continued classes way past the initial ones because I enjoyed it that much-unfortunately she's moved from my area!

Perfect! I enrolled in Jody's Drawing Skills Drills class, hoping to (1) do something fun with my 13-year-old art-loving granddaughter, (2) recapture my childhood love of drawing, and (3) stimulate my right-brain creative center in order to overcome writer's block. I'm happy to say I've achieved every goal and more. Jody's drills make wondrous sense when the time comes to put them to use, and though I've called a few "torturous," I can't imagine learning by a quicker way. I've shouted her praises to all who'll listen--and I'm telling YOU now. She's a 5-star teacher for sure and a gifted artist who should be "out there" more!

I charge $35 per hour. Lessons are for one hour and I can be flexible with your schedule. My method is to build your drawing skills step-by-step and I recommend at least 8 weeks to create a good drawing foundation. This time frame is also flexible!
