BI Cody is an artist and visual practitioner whose work grows out of a long engagement with image-making shaped by both artistic training and professional design practice. Born and raised in Sardinia, Italy, she began painting in her teenage years, driven by an early need for visual expression.

She studied art and graphic design in London, graduating with a Bachelor’s degree from Central Saint Martins, and later worked in Milan, immersed in a design culture informed by visual communication, architecture, product design, and publishing. These experiences sharpened her understanding of how images are constructed, produced, and circulated.

Based in New York City for over two decades, Cody has worked as a graphic designer and art director on selected editorial and commercial projects across fashion, beauty, and lifestyle. Her current artistic practice marks a deliberate shift toward a more autonomous mode of making—one that prioritizes intuition, experimentation, and internal authorship, returning art to a space of inquiry rather than resolution.
