Lives and works in Long Beach, California

I am a contemporary visual artist devoted to creating artwork that deals with modern conceptual concerns, while also aspiring to change the world through local community action and developing large scale projects that enable viewers to feel more empowered.

As a fine artist I have had twelve solo shows and have been in countless group shows. The goal of my studio practice is to be conscious of my voice and talk about concepts that intrigue me. Staying relevant to the now, open to change, and evolving my work into the future contemporary. Always striving for an equal blend of conceptual and beautiful.

Arid West
Arid West takes a surrealistic approach on the importance of water and how here in Los Angeles, water conservation is a way of life. By combining black and white desert scenes with lush full colored bathers, Cody gives us a stark reminder of California's divide between the wet north and the dry south.

Portraits of Metro Riders by Local Artists
Celebrating the diversity of Los Angeles County and the community of transit riders, portraits of Metro riders created by local artists are presented throughout the Metro system and online. Each rider portrait has a story that is personal and universal, intimate and immediate-a single story among the many stories of 840,000 daily riders on Metro, and each told by an artist with ties to neighborhoods served by Metro.

Madison Park Mural Project - Cody Lusby
Most of the population in this part of Santa Ana are descendants from Mexican Immigrants, so we leaned heavily on traditional Mexican designs. The flowers represent seasonal change; Jacaranda trees which line the streets of Madison Park represent spring and summer, Marigolds or Cempazuchitl popular during Dia De Los Muertos represent fall and winter.
