Connie Wood’s need to make art comes from a deep seated desire to understand and interpret the world she lives in and to share her interpretation. In the past her work was more nature and ecosystem focused, but circumstances have moved Connie in a new direction.
Her current body of work, The Handwriting on the Wall, is Wood’s interpretation of the incoherence of information being disseminated by political leaders, with the deliberate intent to confuse, cause mistrust, to agitate, and create a division amongst the populous for capital gain at the cost of humanity. When working in layers and various media, Wood moves beyond materials and meaning and gets lost in the cathartic act of painting.
Encaustic painting is her media of choice for the past 10 years., although after teaching computer graphic design, photography, pottery, painting and drawing to high school and college students in Twin Falls Idaho for twenty years techniques from each media tend to seep into her work.
Connie has a BFA in Art Education and Photography from Boise State University, continuing education credits from Savanah College of Art and Design, Chicago Art Institute, NNU, Idaho State University, University of Idaho, and Adobe certifications in computer graphics.
Wood has continually shown her work in gallery settings and shows since 1996. She is currently represented by Capital Contemporary Galley in Boise. Her work is held in numerous private and public collections.
