Celebrate summer by joining us for our next Palate to Palette dinner on Thursday, June 20th from 5pm-8pm at Cala’s, in Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA. Enjoy a delicious meal and watch Joli Ayn Wood, a local artist and plein air painter, paint!
Joli enjoys working both in the studio and out of doors on location. Favorite subjects include the rugged coastline of New England, the mountains and rural landscapes of Southwestern Virginia, as well as the striking Desert Southwest. While painting "en plein air," her aim is to capture the shapes, colors, and light quickly...most times within a couple of hours. Joli finds inspiration in the luminous works of Fitz Henry Lane, the abstract modernity of Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings, the moody, light-filled works by Ed Hopper, as well as contemporary plein air painters of California and the West.
In 2019 she moved to the North Shore of Boston, Massachusetts from Virginia, where she captures the beauty around her, en plein air, and contining her work in the healing arts.
After some time in her own gallery in Rockport, MA, October 2023 brought the relocation of her studio from Rockport just south to the coastal Village of Beverly Farms. A stand alone, charming cottage is now Joli’s main creation and teaching space.
