Jody Hope Gibbons

 Born in 1966, Jody paints full-time in her Matakana studio and has works  held in private collections here and throughout the world. Her work pushes the boundaries of traditional painting practice and techniques- from her bright abstract works  to  her  painterly , ethereal  landscape series . A separate body of  her current  work  also explores her interest in recycling found materials and discovering the beauty in these objects  and presenting them in a new light.   She is an established New Zealand artist and exhibits her work in galleries around the North and South Islands.
