Odin’s pastel, acrylic and watercolor paintings are frequently inspired by the beautiful Cape Cod images that have imprinted themselves on her senses since she was a very small child. She enjoys portraying subjects in a manner that fills them with light and life. The motivation of her art comes from wanting to know the secrets of man’s relationship to nature, and why we are so influenced by the beauty of light and color.

“There is a part of me in each of my paintings. Each piece becomes like one of my children, something that I have nurtured and filled with love and energy, but has a strong and beautiful life of its own. I would like the viewer to feel as though they are connected to the image on a personal level; that they have experienced the emotion expressed within the painting. I aspire to create paintings that people can drift into; paintings that give a sense of place and peace.”
