Artist Jani Bodell brings her painting back to Hinsdale for another “Art+Vision” series.

Her acrylic paintings engage the viewer by layering form in unusual compositions that convey an expert hand through the use of materials. Manager Jasmine Martinez says, “Jani’s work displays beautifully in our store and we loved it so much, that we had to have her back a second time around. Our customers look forward to seeing her new pieces and we are very excited to have her back.” Jani Bodell continues to show work at various galleries in the Chicagoland area and will be back for six weeks at Spex.
