Jody Hollier, photographer, artist, writer...an introduction...

I am pleased to feature artist and colleague, Jody Hollier, on this week's blog.   A talented professional, Jody's photos are insightful, warm and relevant. She captures images we probably all see... but somehow don't register as significant of touching beauty.  I recommend you visit Jody's sites and support her as an artist.  I asked Jody to talk about herself and her work in an Artist Statement.   

Side note: Jody is the daugher of Judy Salamacha, a well-known community member, now living on the central coast

After the rain, 8x8 photograph, JA Hollier

I grew up in Bakersfield, California, and at 18, life's adventures led me to Louisiana, where I attended the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and received a Bachelor's of Fine Arts.

My artwork reflects my fascination with details- the varied colors and forms of metal, the grace of a rain drop clinging to a berry and the many images that surround us and often go by unnoticed in the hurry of living. It is my intent to draw attention to these details, elevating them from a fleeting glance and to offer them some permanence in this world.

I borrowed this quote from Jody's facebook page...I think it speaks to the heart of every artist:

“I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is - Who in the world am I? -- Lewis Carroll

Linked In...artists...connect!


  As a professional artist, if you haven't joined LinkedIn -- you may want to do so...soon.

You will need to create a free account to get used to using it, then can upgrade from there as it fits your needs.  Go to this link http://learn.linkedin.com/what-is-linkedin/

LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network with over 80 million members and growing rapidly. LinkedIn connects you to your trusted contacts and helps you exchange knowledge, ideas, and opportunities with a broader network of professionals. 

In the groups section, you can join groups that pertain to the arts community -- it puts you in contact with people in your specific area of interest.

Take a look...I am so glad I did.

Best wishes,
