JOSIE RODRIGUEZ believes that art in many forms has a wonderful ability to heal, nurture and inspire. She works from an intuitive space and one that allows for much spontaneity. Her art is influenced by the world around her; designs in nature, connections and textures. She is inspired by words and language, different cultures and views of our world. An element of making art is sharing that art with others. Teaching workshops is one of the ways that Josie can experience first hand the blossoming creativity of students. There is no greater feeling than having a student say, “You have inspired me.” Josie’s work has been exhibited throughout Southern and Northern California and the Midwest. Being actively involved with the International Encaustic Association, San Diego Book Arts, Society for the Arts in Health Care and various San Diego art’s organizations has enriched her life as an artist. Born and raised in San Diego, Josie received a BA from San Diego State University and MA from the University of San Diego
