About Jodie Apeseche

 

Born in Brooklyn, New York, I currently reside in Natick, Massachusetts where I focus my time on establishing and supporting fundraising events through my art. My interests in both biology and environmental science, led me to a biology degree at Cornell University before continuing my graduate studies in Natural Resources at the University of Michigan. Two careers later (one in environmental mitigation focused on protecting natural and visual resources and one in fisheries biology), I received a M.Ed. at Lesley University and finally brought my love of art into the foreground when combined with the many facets of elementary education. 

 

My first works were monotypes created on a printing press. Just as with my careers, my art has taken on various forms throughout the years. Currently I have been focusing on watercolors with an illustrative bent, often employing collage within the art.  But I can't stop learning and appreciating new mediums and have taken up figurative and abstract painting in both oil and acrylic.

You can find my art in galleries in Boston’s Metrowest communities, Martha's Vineyard, Rhode Island, Maine and New York. My paintings are held in private and corporate collections from the West to East coasts, Canada, Australia, Europe, Russia and India. Collections are carried locally at Boston Children's Hospital, Floating Hospital for Children, Massachusetts General Hospital and TJX Corporation.
