JODY PHAM

Illustrator // Dallas, Texas

Inspired by the natural and physiological world around her, Jody Pham's fascination with the intricacies of seemingly everyday things began at a very young age. Her distinctively monochromatic illustrations are filled with contradicting linear lines, tangled flora, and inky disarray that invite the viewer to take a closer look. She finds the transformative, resilient disposition of nature beautiful and endlessly inspiring. Jody's compositions often reflect her bicultural identity, and the experience of navigating dual worlds.

Jody has collaborated on creative projects with Sakura of America, Absolut Vodka, Bucketfeet, and Cykochik hand bags. Her work has been exhibited throughout the DFW area, including Kettle Art, White Space Gallery, Janette Kennedy Gallery, Candelaria & Co., and the Fort Worth Community Arts Center. As the winner of Red Bull's Canvas Cooler Project in Dallas, she also had the privilege of showing her work as part of the Red Bull Curates Exhibition at SCOPE Miami during Art Basel. Jody recently coauthored her first book, The Art of Fashion Tangling, which was released by Walter Foster Publishing in Spring 2016.

Striving to give back to her community, Jody has also collaborated with several creatively driven non-profits, both locally and internationally, including non-profits ArtLoveMagic and Color Me Empowered, who both work to enhance communities through public art, mentoring, and opportunities for at-risk youth.

In addition to her passion for art, Jody has also dedicated her life to helping others as a funeral director.
