About Jody Nash:
Jody has been teaching at the ArtsCenter since the start of 2024. In her pastel classes they have painted waves, marshes, clouds, lakes, and snow. In her coiled basket classes, the students have done small but exquisite works that are extremely detailed.
“My journey with soft pastels began in 2020, following a move from California to North Carolina. After a decade of dedicated work in coiled pine needle basketry and a career in nursing, I found myself captivated by the vibrant landscapes of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Seeking a medium to express the beauty surrounding me, I chose pastels and instantly fell in love with the medium. My artistic exploration has since focused on capturing the essence of earth, sky, water reflections, and dramatic storm clouds, often employing non-traditional techniques to convey my vision. I am fascinated by the interplay of color, light, composition, and the emotions they evoke. My preferred pastel brands include Terry Ludwig, Blue Earth, and Sennelier, and I favor Lux Archival paper for its versatility with dry and wet media.”
