Jody Florman graduated from the University of California at Santa Cruz, where she majored in art and narrowed her interests to mixed media, sculpture, and painting on fabric. After graduation, she worked as a stylist for commercials and department stores, then went on to the garment industry as a clothing and fabric designer/merchandiser in Los Angeles, New York and India. Color, texture, and form were always a focal point.

Jody was introduced to the decorative arts when she moved to London. Her interest became a passion, then a career. Essentially self-taught, she attended various seminars, developing her talents in faux finishing, trompe l’oeil, and mural painting. Over the next few years, she received residential and commercial commissions in London.

Upon returning to the United States, Jody expanded her artistic and painting repertoire, receiving commissions in high-end residences and commercial establishments throughout Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, New Mexico, and Virginia.
