Roderick attended Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania as a Painting and Design Major and graduated from
University of Michigan in Design. She moved to Alamogordo, NM, in the
mid 60’s with her spouse, where she oil painted until pregnancy, and
then worked as a Batik artist while raising children and moving around
the country. Returning to NM in the mid 70’s, the Wearable Art
movement was just beginning, so she started creating Clothing-as-Art,
first in Batik and later in Silk Painting. She was an award-winning
fiber artist who exhibited far and wide, in many local and National
Shows, Fairs and Galleries. She owned Village Wools for a 10 year
period, and taught a multitude of people to silk paint from there, from
her studios, and from Ghost Ranch in Northern New Mexico. Moving to
Placitas in 1998, she tapered out of the Art Scene, closed her studio in
town in 2002, and has semi-retired into a slower, more meditative life.

| "After painting on Silk for the past 25 years, I have recently started also painting Watercolors. The techniques are actually quite similar; painting transparent colors on a horizontal surface, and both are pretty much of a one-shot deal. I am greatly enjoying the challenge, spontaneity, and immediacy of watercolor. During warm weather, I do Plein Air Painting, very physically engaging the beautiful, expansive and varied landscapes surrounding us here in New Mexico. During the winter, I have been painting Sandhill Cranes from my sketches and photographs taken at Bosque Del Apache, and am currently working on a book, Poems From The Sandhill Cranes, in Words and Images, which should be finished in Fall 2007." | |||
