EPISODE NOTES:
This week I’m excited for you to meet Rodney Wood, an artist from Corazon de Trinidad Creative District, Colorado Certified.
Art went from being a tool to being a voice of expression for Rodney – he became deeply passionate about the value of using art to express himself. Art opened him up – his heart and soul – and for him that’s become what his art is really about.
How has art affected you in your life? Please consider sharing your thoughts in the comments below!
RODNEY’S BIO:
In years past Rodney Wood was considered by many as the ubiquitous “art guy” of many hats. His true passion lies in a life-long devotion to the Arts. Rodney is an artist that who has also been an educator, arts advocate, and entrepreneur. Born and raised in Colorado, he has lived in places as diverse as Breckenridge, San Francisco, Santa Fe and Sedona but would often return to family in the Rocky Mountains. His art career has included: gallery owner, bronze foundry worker, teacher, non-profit arts administrator, curator, preparator and jewelry designer. As an artist his past work focused on mixed media sculpture, jewelry and metal smithing. He has had solo exhibitions in photography, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and most recently, painting. With a full commitment to painting, he has disposed of all unrelated tools and materials. Painting has become an obsession and will likely be the media of choice for the rest of his life.
