Artist Profile
Background
6th Generation South Australian, born January 1975 as Jody Simone Arnold
From the large first settlement pioneering farming Arnold family in the Riverland districts of New Residence, Loxton and Renmark, South Australia, as well as established many centuries old aristocratic families in Britain, Western and Eastern Europe plus both Republic and Northern Ireland.
Having had a very deep and meaningful symbiotic relationship with both indigenous and agricultural landscapes, Jody grew up having a very grounded close intimate connection with the great Murray River, its native environments and wildlife as well as the generational life that comes with pastoral, orchard, dairy and livestock farming and the international equine industry.
Jody's creative roots reach back to influences of Belguimese grandfather Theodor de Bry; an dominating genetic lifeblood that has now reached most members of the current generations as a certain natural trait. A sense of creativity that was embraced, cultivated, cherished and celebrated, through the influential passionate hands-on mentorship of Jody's great grandmother Marie Louise de Bry, as well as being encouraged and supported by Jody's interested father, Rex.
All these immediate strong influences across a broad range of demographics and walks of life have meshed together to create the authentic person which now defines Jody; an exuberant personality when creatively unleashed onto the world, that is often experienced by others as ‘the moJo effect’.

Present
Jody has also allowed this enduring artistic passion and her natural bohemian personality to guide her in a lifelong creative spiritual and sensory abiding health and wellness based lifestyle.
All together these aspects have created an interesting world for Jody to awaken and creatively evolve within.
An environment which led to an understanding and implementation of a sensory based life existence, understanding and experimentation in the holistic value of colour, texture, construction, perspective and tone, plus their consequential effect upon the artist and not just upon the curator.
Coupled with the more traditional artisan skill-sets gained over decades of exposure to the Australian modern system of education and training in arts and recreation, it was an intense 2 year tried and tested period of experimenting and exploring of ‘conscious colouring-in’ during the COVID pandemic which brought all these elements together and led to some interesting personal self discoveries involving art therapy and conscious creativity.
Australian Art Creativity Studio is the working office of Jody sharing her abilities and talents within her community.
