I was born in 1976 in beautiful historic Savannah Georgia.
I had attended and graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Art in Illustration.
Some major influences in my work has been that I grew up around horses on a small farm in Georgia and have always had a fascination with the beauty of nature, horses and other animals. My sense of spirituality has also played a big part in the progression of my talent.
After graduating, I had taken a short hiatus from art career in order to start and raise a family. Slowly, I have picked up my pencil and paint brushes in order to resume the creation of more works of art.
My favored style and techniques are watercolor, realistic graphite pencil renderings and ink stippling technique, which uses a pattern of dots, in order to render intricate animal or nature designs, then I add color using watercolor paints and sometimes colored inks.
Shows that I have been invited to attend: The very prestigious 9th Annual Grand National Art Show and Sale at the Cow Palace in San Francisco California. I enjoyed meeting many of the other wonderful artists there and seeing all the beautiful works of art, with mine sitting right next to theirs was the best feeling I could have.
I have also displayed art work at the Annual juried art competition at the Georgia National Fair in Oct. 2008 and 2009.
And I have won first place in the graphite division at the Women and Horses Expo. in Sedalia, Missouri, at the state Fair Ground Oct. 24th-26th 2008.
I enjoy showing in watercolor and graphite pencil artist divisions and I am very proud to be apart of these wonderful events where I can share my art with so many other people. I look forward to many more art show opportunities to come in 2010.
I am currently taking commissions for Equine Pet Portraits. My graphite style is realistic in nature while my watercolor is more colorful and illustrative or "stylized". Please feel free to contact me for more information.
Thank you so much for stopping by,
Sincerely,
Jodi Bauter
