My name is Jodi Manca and I live in North Kingstown, Rhode Island.  I am a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Illustration.  I also hold a Masters in Art Education from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.  I have been an educator of the arts for over twenty years, teaching in the Cranston School Department since 2000. 

Primarily a painter using mostly acrylics, I enjoy painting all subject matter.  I also have spent the past several years creating with fabric with my line of bags 2nd Tour.
