Hi, my name is Jody Poehl. I was born an artist. I started out drawing and ended up getting into all kinds of trouble. Yep it�s true. I started playing drums contrary to my parents wishes (okay everybody�s wishes) but 17 years later nobody seems to mind. I got into writing lyrics and poetry, even rap but don�t tell anyone - especially my heavy metal friends. I got into botany, storm watching and finally painting. I�m self taught in all fields.

When Colors Collide
Everyday our senses are filled with the colors of the world. The interplay of light and surfaces deliver color to us. Do we see a color alone and isolated or part of a broader dynamic system? All of the elements in our environment literally and figuratively color our experiences. Our daily experiences with the colorful world breed rich associations that rest embedded in our senses. Memories of events and the emotions tied to our recollections of colorful realities are conjured by hues offered in the present.
We don�t ever truly see color independently. When we attempt to isolate a color, it is affected by its neighboring colors, the light offered by the environment, and the surface features on which it rests. Our vantage points and our previous exposure to light and color further alter our perceptions of colors accessible in the present. We find that our perceptions can not be scrutinized independently. So too, we discover that our emotions have colors attached to them; we never experience color or our emotions objectively.
The rapture of life begins when not only compatible, but also opposing elements come together. Just as the ocean crashes to the seashore, the edge of a meadow creeps to the beckoning forest. The time of day provides the setting for these precious moments of intermingling. I have attempted to bring these moments to you on canvas. Let the colors come to you and hear their echo in your emotions.
And so I�ve brought you to this point based on the precepts that colors collide only to now tell you that they don�t. They laugh. They sing. They cry. They dance and they play.
Invite yourself to participate in the ongoing dynamic relationship with these special moments through color. View the canvases throughout the day, allowing the light to play with the colors delivered by your environment and your personal history with color. Observe your feelings created by nothing other than colors and your associations with them. Participate in the harmonious expression of color�rejoice in the strength of pigment and the gift of perception.
Please enjoy.
