Ro Bodell, a Seattle– and Gulf Coast–based oil painter, creates emotionally charged still life works that go beyond the objects they depict. Her work uses familiar items as vessels to explore themes like judgment, joy, longing, loss, and possibility—rendered in saturated color and expressive brushwork that invites not just viewing, but feeling.

An alumna of the Gage Academy Still Life Atelier, Ro’s paintings have been shown in Seattle, Washington and Fairhope, Alabama. Her compositions are grounded in the everyday, yet speak to something deeper—offering collectors a mirror for their own stories, and a sense of being seen.
