Inspired and encouraged by her father early on, Dodi has lived her entire life with a passion for art.

Earning her teaching degree, she has taught art most of her adulthood – both in the educational system and in her community – viewing it as an opportunity for ministering to others by providing a creative outlet. She has a natural ability to motivate and energize her students through her teaching.

Dodi renders her works in several types of media including pen-and-ink, watercolor and oil. In 2008, she joined the Art Guild. Aside from participating on numerous committees, Dodi has served as historian and secretary. In addition, she has served as president for four years.

Dodi has three children, many grandchildren and quite a few great-grandchildren.
