Jody Mussoff
1952 - Present
Jody Mussoff is an American ceramist and artist, living in Virginia.
Mussoff was born in 1952 in Pittsburgh]], Pennsylvania. She received her art training at Carnegie-Mellon University and the Corcoran College of Art and Design. Her work was included in the exhibition Graphic Masters III, held at the Smithsonian Institution's American Art Museum in 2010.
Mussoff's brightly colored drawings represent people and animals from her imagination. She uses a cross-hatching technique, and leaves much of the background blank. Her ceramics are earthenware, also brightly colored, decorated with people and animals. There is humor and a surrealistic quality to her drawings and ceramics.
