About the Artist

Carol Odell chose painting as her means of expression when she was young and decided to go to art school. Since completion of a BFA from the Boston Museum School / Tufts University in 1967, she has made art and design part of her life. After exploring several media over time, she has chosen oil paint as her preferred medium for its working qualities and richness of color. Gouache and monotype works on paper augment her larger oil works on canvas, wood panels and folding screens.

Managing the Odell studio / gallery has provided her with the rewarding experience of direct contact and relationships with many collectors of her work. Her work is also currently represented by the Rice / Polak Gallery in Provincetown, MA and in many juried group shows in the New England area. She exhibits frequently with the Monotype Guild of New England of which she was president for three years.

"Inspiration for my work comes from observations and perceptions of the natural world as well as my study of art of all peoples; in short, art is everywhere!

Living in a coastal environment unquestionably has some influence on my aesthetic sensibilities, but when I work or start to compose, my goal is to clear my thoughts of all things and attempt to create by improvisation a certain harmony from disparate elements - color being the most expressive component of my work.

Process and materials are motivational and I hope my joy of working is evident in the final work."
