As an artist, Jodi Condes tries to capture the feelings of light-filled moments in special places that, to the viewer, feel familiar to their heart, even if they may never have been there before. She want viewers to feel invited into the painting - to stroll in that garden, walk down that lane, sit by that sea, or reach out to that flower. More recent explorations into abstract art reflect luminous light and color. She is a self-taught artist, discovering only late in life the amazing feeling of putting brush to canvas and being surprised by the result. She currently serves on the Board of the Vienna Arts Society, and regularly exhibits and sells her work. She has won numerous prizes, awards, and honorable mentions.
