JODY GRAHAM
Jody Graham is a Sydney-based artist whose work encompasses drawing, mixed media, sculpture and installation. Jody is best known for her bold, expressive urban landscapes, particularly of industrial and construction sites and older buildings, exploring themes of impermanence, loss and erasure. She favours the directness of plein air sketching as the basis for work in the studio. Jody has been selected twice for the Kedumba Drawing Collection and as a finalist in several drawing awards including the Dobell and Adelaide Perry. Solo exhibitions in 2011 and 2013 focused on urban and industrial landscapes but there is recurring interest in portraiture and animal studies.
