Who is this lady with all the paint?
Think of me as your straight-talking friend, fellow paint-slinger, and mindset slayer. Let’s create together while we break some rules and make a mess — because life is more fun in the splash zone.
Hi There!
I’m Jodie. Abstract expressionist artist. Wild woman. Art biz owner. Educator.
MY MISSION FOR EVERYTHING I DO HERE
I teach artists how to make honest art and remember their wild side. I’m also hellbent on proving to them (and the world) that the idea of a “starving artist” is bullshit.
I’ve worked with artists for years and one thing I know for sure: It takes a special kind of courage to turn ourselves inside out and show it to the world. But, once we taste that freedom, we are never the same. That’s why I’m helping as many artists as I can tap into their own expression, leave it on the canvas, and turn their art into dollars (if they want).
From speaking at The Conference on World Affairs to being featured in Forbes and writing for Entrepreneur Magazine, hosting workshops around the globe, and supporting my own local art community here in Austin, I’m here to show the world what a wild woman armed with a paintbrush and a canvas can do.
I’d love to show you, too.
CHANGING THE NARRATIVE FOR
Artists
Art is transformative — for the maker and the people lucky enough to see it. But only if it’s honest, transparent, and yes… a little imperfect. I have made more fugly art than I can count but I’ve turned almost all of those paintings into something I’m proud of, many selling for thousands of dollars.
I’m here to help you tap into your wild side and learn what you need to make your best art — so you can fill your cup and your bank account.
If you’re not ready for some real talk, a little cussing, and a bunch of paint-slingin’, this probably isn’t the right place for you. But if you’re ready to tap into the real, honest art that you’ve got inside, waiting to get out, I think you’re gonna like it here.
I teach in-person workshops and have created online programs for art rebels just like you. Let’s get to know each other, shall we?

WORKSHOP ATTENDEE
This class was the best thing I have ever done for myself. Others should take it if they are honest, kind, warm, have a sense of humor, are accepting of others, and are willing to share encouragement. Art ability does not matter but art interest sure does. Jodie is an excellent teacher and no matter your ability, you will walk away with a learned skill.

I loved Jodie’s Color Course, it felt like she was right there in the room guiding me on! No BS, no fillers, just straight to the point helpful information.However, the part that has helped me understand and improve my paintings was the “Mother Color” secret. Oh my goodness, that is a game changer!! Highly recommend the course.

OWNER OF JODIE KING’S TRUTH OVER CONSEQUENCES
For weeks, I stared at your “Truth over Consequences” piece. Speaking truth to power always has consequences for the speaker. It is dangerous. But for sure, truth-telling rules. The somewhat horizontal line in this piece is everything. The color. How it powerfully cuts through it all. I’m so glad it's mine. One of my best investments.
