...so I made lemonade

Through her paintings and her words, Jodi Hills gives a brief story of her life - so far. A story of lemons, pain, survival, hope and love. We all have a story to tell. We are all here to bear witness. Perhaps the beautiful simplicity of these colors and words will unlock yours.

When I first moved to France, I had the opportunity for an international solo exhibition. I knew the story I had to tell would be mine. I wanted people to know me. The French language was difficult for me, but I had a language of my own, so I told grabbed a brush and told my story. The paintings in this story (exhibition) told the universal truth of survival, endurance, hope and humanity. Life really. The art of all living. We are all here to tell a story. But life can get messy... so we make lemonade. jodi hills
