His works have been published in literary magazines, newspapers and he is a noted illustrator for children’s books.

Cody demonstrated his artistic prowess at an early age. He was always drawing but his introduction to photography came when he was gifted his first camera at just 8 years old. Instructed to stand at least three feet away from his subjects, his dad cut out a little white string measuring three feet. In all of his photos from that era there is seen a little white string leading up to every subject. “I never thought to remove the string” he laughs.

In grade school, Cody was reprimanded for selling his cartoon creations at school, the hand drawn sea creatures were in high demand amongst his peers. The savvy artist keenly continued to develop an eye for aesthetics and went on to become an award-winning artist who was commissioned to create many pieces while just a teenager.

As an advocate of art in human life, Cody’s talents permeate every faucet of his existence. From stage make-up to interior design, his artistic abilities have been utilized across the spectrum. Cody continues to push boundaries with his characteristic style of art that focuses on the whimsy of nature and the exoticism of life. Surrounded by the beauty of the islands, much of his art is influenced by botanical nature and the carefree impressions of paradise.
