About the Artist

Jodie Garrison is a plein air landscape painter based in the mid-Willamette Valley, where she draws inspiration from the diverse terrain of the Pacific Northwest—coastal vistas, mountain ranges, pastoral farmlands, and meandering streams.

She holds a BFA in Painting from the University of Oregon and an MFA in Painting from Louisiana State University, and teaches painting and foundations courses at Western Oregon University.

While her practice encompasses diverse mediums and subjects, Jodie returns most consistently to painting outdoors directly from observation. Her work captures the light and immediacy of place—the shifting atmospheres, seasonal transformations, and quiet moments that define the region's landscape.
