Jodoin received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1988 in Visual Arts from Concordia University in Montreal.[2]

Jodoin has worked almost exclusively in black-and-white since 2004, and first showed works integrating drawing and collage in 2009, sourcing images from magazines, the Internet, personal photos and books.[3] In Jodoin's drawing, the lack of objective figures gives people a feeling that there is no narration. One exception that contains didactic intent is Yesterday and Tomorrow, which consists of a series of drawings.[4] Those pictures showed a young girl wearing a white silk dress walking through a corridor. John A. Parks described Jodoin's work as having "a rich and sensual language of mark and gesture to build images suggestive of horror and violence in a fashion that is curiously affecting."[5] In 2015, Jodoin described her works as linked to "the monstous," and that it had shifted from "themes of pain, violence, mortality or innocence despoiled" to "a sense of disquiet."[6] In 2017, Jodoin was awarded the Prix Louis-Comtois by the Association des galeries d'art contemporain.[7]
