Step into a realm where art intertwines with the profound stages of a woman’s life, illuminated through vibrant mixed media compositions. Artist Jessica Woody celebrates femininity, spiritual awakening, and the transformative power of resilience, all while championing environmental consciousness through repurposed materials.

Each artwork in this collection serves as a poignant narrative, reflecting intimate relationships, spiritual discoveries, and the cultivated wisdom borne from life’s experiences. Woody ingeniously repurposes scratched, defective, or discarded vinyl records as her canvas, salvaging these artifacts from oblivion and imbuing them with new life.

Meticulously hand-cut paper ephemera sourced from vintage magazines and books form intricate collages, each piece meticulously painted with non-traditional, dimensional acrylics and sealed with a decoupage finish. The result is a kaleidoscope of colors and textures that convey the depth and richness of the feminine experience.

Central to Woody’s vision are the contrasting elements within each composition: the vivid hues captured in the paper collages juxtaposed against the stark backgrounds of black vinyl and textured, white acrylic dots. This interplay enhances the symbology, mood, and thematic resonance of each artwork, creating a visual dynamic that resonates deeply with viewers.

Inspired by personal life experiences, the testimonies of family members, Biblical scripture, and the narratives found in vintage periodicals, Woody’s creative process is as much a journey of self-discovery as it is a celebration of womanhood in its myriad forms.

“Art on Vinyl Record: An Upcycle Artist's Feminine Voice Plays Through Acrylic & Mixed Media” is not merely an exhibition but a testament to the enduring spirit and intrinsic beauty of the feminine journey. It invites you to witness the transformation of materials and emotions into art that speaks to the soul and captivates the senses.
