Artist: Jodi O'Hara | Location: Black Mountain, NC
Black Mountain, NC
An Asheville NC native, O’Hara’s is a working artist with a studio located in the heart of the River Arts District. Her process for creating involves a balance of planning and a large amount of trust in the unknown. She is interested in the relationship that exists between logic and intuition, a notion she lives her life by. The artist pushes the bounds of realism with the inclusion of non-representation, creating an ambiguous and mysterious environment. O’Hara builds up many layers of oil paint to indicate history and to reveal a conversation about past experiences, encouraging the audience to draw from their own understanding. O'Hara purposely leaves room in her paintings for spontaneity because she finds that not planning the image in its entirety creates both difficulties but also triumphs as she figures out solutions to compositions.
