Sister Jody O’Neil gets a charge out of old credit cards.
She just might grab up one of your old ones and move it through an acrylic medium on canvas to make waves; waves in a visual sea for all to enjoy. She uses those cards, phone key pads, branches, leaves and other objects to bring her artwork to life.
Sister Jody is artist in residence at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, and her skills are quite versatile. She works in acrylics, oils, photography, watercolor, colored pencils and leaded glass. Most of her work is available for purchase. You can see some samples here. “Nature inspires me. I’ve always enjoyed working with texture within acrylic paintings,” she said.
But nature’s influence doesn’t stop with acrylics. It can be found in the leaded glass windows in the Mother Theodore Hall chapel. It can be found in her oil paintings. And, certainly, it can be found in her photography.
Sister Jody currently has eight of her acrylic renderings on exhibit at Coffee Grounds, 423 Wabash Avenue, Terre Haute, May 31. Catch her there before she heads for another art show.
