Portage Artist Roberta Condon:
"I am a mother, dog walker, long distance swimmer, and artist with a deep connectedness to nature. I am largely self-trained in the art field, and attended engineering college at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
Between the ages of 25 and 46 I slowly ceased painting and got caught up in the basic struggles of making a living, falling in and out of love and caring for children. When I hit age 45 I was confronted by the fragility of life in the form of a skirmish with cancer, and the 9/11 tragedy. This glimpse of mortality lead me to a two week conversation between myself and God in the canyons of Nevada. A direct result of this conversation was a return to my art and painting." Roberta Condon
Most of Roberta's subject matter includes landscape and wildlife and ranges from pure abstraction to expressionism. Her predominant medium is transparent watercolor on paper. "The fluidity and movement of this medium matches the fluidity and movement in water, skies, light, and wind, such a large portion fo the landscape," says Condon.
We are very excited to have some of her artwork in our halls for the month of December. Please stop in to view them. Contact the artist directly if interested in a purchase. rcondon@charter.net
