CAROL ODELL
Trained as an oil painter at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Carol Odell has worked in commercial design, textiles and photography. Her improvisational, non-objective, color expressive works are created in oil, encaustic (beeswax medium) or monotype. Beginning with a non-representational structure, her paintings are built with an eye to creating an imagined space with non-specific references to the natural world. Viewers are encouraged to wander through paintings as if visiting a "place" for the first time. The possibilites of color as a stimulant to the human appreciation of art provide limitless inspiration for this artist's explorations.
Recently she has given workshops at CCMA, CC Art Assoc. and in her Chatham studio entitled "Balancing Energies". She continues to be a volunteer in the Schools to Careers program as mentor to local high school art students. She is a member and exhibits with the Printmaker's of Cape Cod and the Monotype Guild of New England. She and her husband, artist Tom Odell have owned and operated Odell Studios Gallery in Chatham for over 30 years. Her works are in private, corporate and museum collections.
