After having enduring the effects of chemotherapy and multiple surgeries, Jodi is happy to say she has been cancer free for five years and can now proudly call herself a survivor.

Jodi knew she needed to capture this beauty and express herself the way she always had. She needed to return to her art. However, for the first time ever she felt a strong desire to paint! Choosing oils, she has happened upon a medium that she loves like no other before. Painting to classical music, she gets lost in her work, experiencing a sense of peace and truly living her dream.
