Jodi Hoover is an artist, teacher, and librarian working in Western Massachusetts. Her work explores storytelling as a (sometimes unreliable) way to explain the dangerous, beautiful world. Familiar and domestic designs, such as quilt patterns, bleed into fairy-tale landscapes created through the use of layered hand-cut collage work.
Hoover holds a Master of Fine Art degree from Towson University and a Master of Library Science from University of Maryland, College Park. She teaches book and printmaking workshops and has exhibited work throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. She enjoys talking about her rescue dogs and loves cicadas.
