About Olive Us Deserve To Learn

Olive PR Solutions, Inc. and Feeding the Soul Foundation are partnering to present a yearlong campaign called “Olive Us Deserve To Learn.” These community based events will share one common theme – creative generosity.

Poetry in Three Languages: An Art Show by Dani Dodge

In “Poetry,” Dodge mixes fleeting images with found words to create new meaning in everyday urban scenes. The solo exhibition of new never-before-displayed works melds words and images into daring new compositions.

Dodge has announced she will contribute 100% of proceeds of three paintings to Freedom Station, a San Diego-based organization committed to supporting recovering service members.

“As a journalist, my life was words and I used them to describe everything I saw,” Dodge said. “When I became an artist I began telling stories of life in images. With this show, I will attempt to bring my history and my future together.”

Dodge created her images by layering scenes painted in acrylic over letters and repeating these layers many times until they became one. The phrases spill out in English, Spanish and French. Sometimes the words are from graffiti, other times poetry, and still other times, from the very newspaper stories she used to write.
