Jody Velasco

I am an abstract and fluid paint artist along with furniture refinishing and upcycling old pieces. I take commissions and also sell via my website and various marketplaces. I also do custom paint finishes, staging and consulting in clients homes and work spaces.

I love to help people with their living and work spaces because the way a space feels can change the way you feel working and living in it.
