A Minnesota-born artist and author, Jodi Hills now lives, loves and creates in the south of France. Jodi started writing and painting when she was five years old. No matter what she was feeling, she would go into her room and put it down on paper. As Jodi says, “I guess it's not just what I do. It's who I am! C'est moi!” A graduate of the University of Minnesota, Jodi went into advertising for her first job. She wondered: if she could write about something she didn’t care about, like toilet paper, what would it be like to write about something she really DID care about? The first show she ever had was at an art fair with a few framed originals, a few prints, and some cards. It was surprising to her when she sold the original paintings, but the pure joy came from the woman who bought a single card – a single card that cost one dollar. Jodi believes, no matter the budget every person should have the same opportunity to buy a piece of art that moves them. From originals, to prints, to cards, to home goods, to coffee table books, Jodi Hills makes something for everyone. Every word or piece of art is an expression of what she experiences or sees in the world: it’s all personal. After a gallery show in Chicago, she accidentally fell in love with a French man; then, got married on purpose and moved to the south of France. In this episode, we not only hear more details of her love story, but we learn what motivates and inspires Jodi. We learn about her daily routine, and the importance of saying “yes”.
