Jody Joseph (Dundas, ON)
Jody received early art training in her native Chicago, and later at the International School of Art in Umbria, Italy.

Since moving to Canada, she has been a long-time instructor at the Dundas Valley School of Art and also taught annually at an art school in Umbria, Italy. Her paintings and collages are inspired by the places she knows in both Italy and Canada. Her work is characterized by its refined use of bold colour, inventive shapes, and expressive brushstrokes.
