Oh, where do I begin? With an architect father who designed spaces to live in and a mother whose hands wove magic into fabric, I grew up in a lively family of eight, where creativity was our second language and speaking your mind was as natural as breathing. We moved around the South quite a bit, and that’s where my love for making new friends and embracing different communities blossomed.

From a young age, I had this undeniable passion for people and art, winning some local and state competitions along the way. But, as life would have it, I pressed pause on my artistic dreams during college to focus on raising a family and diving into photography. Wedding photography was a safe career in the field of art and became my creative outlet, allowing me to capture the love stories of so many while forming new friendships along the way.

TO LOVE BEAUTY

Is to see light

As life shifted and I found myself navigating single motherhood, I turned once again to art, this time through graphic design—a path that allowed me to balance creativity with family life. But it wasn’t until I met Dale, the love of my life, that everything changed. His unwavering support and belief in my dreams gave me the freedom to first raise our blended family of eight, and then, as an empty nester, to pursue my lifelong passion for art full-time.

I dove headfirst into a rigorous study at the Milan Art Institute, where I discovered my love for oil painting and mixed media. These past few years have been a journey of finding my artistic voice, and with our last child out of the nest, I’m finally stepping fully into my art career.

THE DIVINE IN ME

Sees the divine in you

My art is a blend of Contemporary Impressionism and Abstracts with a love for light. I’m all about creating an energetic atmosphere with spontaneous textures, luxurious oils, and a touch of romance. My portraits aim to capture that inner glow we all have, and my still life’s celebrate the awe-inspiring beauty of nature and everyday objects. To me, each piece isn’t just a painting—it’s an invitation to behold the brilliant divinity within.

Arizona has become home for the family I grew up in, with each of us pursuing our own creative passions, yet staying deeply connected through faith and love. I continue to find joy in meeting new people, photographing them in their divine light, and painting your stories that inspire me.

Have you ever noticed what beauty appears when you stop controlling and start surrendering?

I paint mixed-media abstracts, and the process still feels like magic. I never know what the abstract will become — I just surrender to the flow and watch something unexpected take shape.

From that beautiful chaos, I paint a woman into the abstract.

And every time, I feel the urge to cover up the mess — to perfect her, smooth her skin, sharpen her eyes — simply because I can.
But I stop myself.

Perfection is not the assignment.

Somewhere along the way, we started believing perfection creates connection… but it actually creates distance. Vulnerability is what brings us close.
INTO ME SEE.

Our “mess” is our message — the honesty that makes us human and the bravery that truly connects us.

If I cover her cracks and erase her backstory, I lose the very things that make her relatable. Her rawness, her imperfections, her healing — that is where her truth lives.

And yes… it’s uncomfortable to let people see the places we’re still healing, the parts we’re not proud of, the pieces that feel unfinished. But here’s what I know:

We are all becoming.
A work in progress and a masterpiece — at the same time.

We need less judgment — when we see others and when we look in our own mirror. We need the eyes of Jesus Christ, who sees every individual's divine nature long before we are “finished.”

When you look at yourself and others, what do you see? Only what’s wrong — or also what is breathtakingly right?

So, friend… be honest when you look at her what do you see?

Drop MESS or MASTERPIECE in the comments. 🤍✨

💫 282 weeks since my last post… I’m finally ready.

They say fall is proof that change is beautiful —
and I’ve lived that truth 🍂

A lot has changed,
because He keeps reshaping me through the cycle of
creation, fall, and rebirth.

Maybe you’ve felt that too?
We’re all learning to live it —
to create, to fall, to rise again.

This is what I live.
And now… this is what I paint 🎨💛

🦋 Creation. Fall. Rebirth.
Which one word feels most like your heart today?

👇 Drop it below — I’d love to see your season in a single word.

The awesome thing about New Years, New Weeks, and every New Day is that we can choose to progress and become more of the masterpiece we are intended to become. Meanwhile it’s our friends and family that see us through all the ugly stages and love us just the same. I can barely sleep these days with excitement for all my 2019 New Years goals and painting this self portrait for my all time favorite hubby.

"Glorious"
24x30 Ink and Oil on Paper
This piece has a very special place in my heart...there are so many things to say as an artist and so many different ways of saying it. I was searching for who I am as an artist. I struggled and toiled through this piece breaking through to really begin to discover my place in art. I talk to so many women who are trying to discover who they are and what they want to do. Young kids to teens to adults are told what to be by messages on social media and the world. To those of you who don't yet know who you are and what you have to offer the world...it's already inside of you and waiting to be discovered! To those of you who do know...never forget because you are a powerful light to others... There are times when you might feel aimless
You can't see the places where you belong
But you will find that there is a purpose
It's been there within you all along and when you're near it
You can almost hear it

It's like a symphony just keep listenin'
And pretty soon you'll start to figure out your part
Everyone plays a piece and there are melodies
In each one of us, oh, it's glorious

You will know how to let it ring out as you discover who you are
Others around you will start to wake up
To the sounds that are in their hearts
It's so amazin', what we're all creatin'
-David Archuleta Glorious

Shout out to the best husband in the world. He is so supportive of my dreams!  5.5 years later and I love him more every day. He gives me wings to fly! Of course I fall a lot because I’m human and trying to fly 😳 but somehow he’s still so so patient with me. Cheers to your other half...even if you haven’t met him yet...you will...and when you do...get ready to soar 💗 #jodale #giveherwingstofly
Just finished a 3 day cleanse and my body is singing! 💓 I believe that everything we take into our bodies increases or diminishes our light. Thank you @nekterjuicebar I heart you! Really I do...like 3x’s a week 😂
”It Feels Like Home”
16x30 Oil on Paper: This was my 2nd piece when I really started to figure out my style. It was exhilarating as I felt light pouring into my mind, rushing through my heart and out my brush...it felt like discovering a new room in my home. A room that had always been there but had just never been discovered. The magic...the wonder of discovery had me giddy and it was time to photograph my own subjects and to paint on canvas.
”I close my eyes and I can see
The world that's waiting up for me
That I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home...”

“Amazing Grace” 30x30 Oil Painting on Canvas: Ruthless rain, humble tears and glistening sweat pouring to the ground mingle into the puddles upon her path. Reflective and poised she dances in the rain with the grace of a queen.  Special thanks to @sophiesimas for allowing me to paint her beautifully worn super loved slippers! #jodeehuishart #amazinggrace #amazinggracepicture #danceintherain #oilpainting #balletslippers #ballerina #amazinggraceballetrose
