Jody Mussoff
Jody Mussoff (born 1952 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American ceramist and artist living in Virginia.
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.
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, and is in the collections of several other major museums and galleries, including:
- Corcoran Gallery of Art
- Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
- National Museum of Women in the Arts
- Kunsthalle Nürnberg
- Orlando Museum of Art
- Princeton University Art Museum
- Tokyo National University of Fine Arts
- Yale University Art Gallery
Mussoff is listed in major artist databases.[1][2][3]
