Getting you on the map

At Female Frequency Productions, my focus is on empowering mid-career artists to take their creative careers to the next level. With over 25 years of experience in the art world, I bring a strategic, results-driven approach to building sustainable growth. From crafting impactful campaigns to amplifying visibility and driving meaningful sales, I’m passionate about helping artists break boundaries, connect with their audiences, and leave a lasting legacy.

Where creativity meets strategy.

The Result:  A driving force in the Climate Arts landscape, Ecofeminism, and the Studio Glass Movement, I bring 25 years of leadership in contemporary art—curating museum exhibitions, directing galleries, and collaborating with renowned artists like Dale Chihuly, Barbara Earl Thomas, and Judy Chicago. My expertise spans hands-on artmaking, marketing, formal essays, producing catalogs, and major publications, shaping the conversation around art on a global scale.

With a strategic approach to implementation, I’ve orchestrated seamless launches, expanded audience bases, and generated millions in art sales—transforming artistic vision into cultural legacy. From studios to museums, hotshops to large-scale public venues, I work across the art world ecosystem, ensuring that artists, cultural agents, and patrons bring their boldest ideas to life.

As a curator, consultant, and artist, my leadership is trusted by museums and revered artists alike with projects featured in The New York Times, PBS, Seattle Times, Forbes, Hyperallergic, Culture Trip, NPR, Refract, Earth Creative, and Art in America.

Art is more than an object—it’s a frequency. I’m here to serve the creative spirit, ensuring that meaningful work reaches the audiences and institutions it deserves.

    Jodie, you’re great. Thanks for everything.

    ”

  • Carol-Anne McFarlane

    “

    I was energized by our session. I’ve done a lot of artist coach webinars and they don’t meet me where I am. You met me where I am and was able to offer a solution for my current need. Thank you for that."

    ”

  • Miguel Edwards

    “Knowing Jodie's experience curating and running art nonprofits, directing commercial galleries and world-class artists make her an invaluable resource to any serious career artists. She gave me options because I want to make art, not all the other stuff. I was able to strategize my next move with confidence. Jodie and her strategies are kick-ass and are my go-to.”
