A SHORT BIO
​
Jodi Fuchs is an award winning contemporary abstract painter currently residing in St. Petersburg, Florida. Her education about color, pattern and rhythm was a result of her work as a decorative artist and set painter for 20+ years in Los Angeles. Clients included Saudi royalty and movie stars to housewives in in the valley.
Fuchs’ paintings are modern abstract expressionistic pieces that have an undeniable energy. It is her fascination with the pure creative force--the invisible thread of consciousness that connects us all--that fuels her process paintings.
She calls her art “Spiritual Graffiti”. The work flows between pure abstraction and lyrically narrative pieces that incorporate her personal iconography of meaning. Spray paint, random words, ink, acrylic paint, household paint and glitter are all fair game.
Fuchs has studied many different healing modalities including yoga, meditation, Feng Shui and energy work. She has also lived in various art centric cities over the years which have informed her evocative paintings .
From urban cities like Los Angeles to mid size communities like Santa Fe, NM, Kona Kailua, Hawaii and presently St. Petersburg FL, her artwork reflects the various cadence and color palette of those places. The fearlessness required to move to new locales is apparent in how she creates her art. This “nothing to lose” attitude results in bold and dynamic pieces.
She has been awarded grants from Portland Oregon’s Regional Arts and Culture Council, The Georges Dubouef Winery (resulting in her work on 100k wine labels) and was an Archstone contest winner in Santa Monica where she won an art gallery on Main Street. There she showcased her paintings for six months and held numerous events sharing her artist friends' work. With over 500 licensed images for the wall decor and hospitality industries, she has clearly tapped into a range of styles that clients and corporations respond to.
Painting is a place of discovery for Fuchs where new territories are out pictured in her dynamic (and sometimes quiet) pieces. Inspired by the abstract expressionists whose motto loosely translates to: "it’s not what you paint but how it gets there", every painting is a new destination for this inquisitive artist.
