Bio
Christiana Odum is a multi-disciplinary artist who draws inspiration from human experiences and emotional connections. Her work reflects themes of mental health, self-love, and empathy. Christiana lives in Nashville, TN, where she nurtures a prolific painting practice from her home-based studio.
After surviving a tornado in March 2020, Odum pushed her style in an abstract direction to cope with trauma and feelings of isolation during the global COVID-19 pandemic. In February 2021, she began working from a private art studio, where one month later, she lost the building and hundreds of original paintings to severe flooding. Only a few paintings, held in the artist's private home collection at the time, survived.
Odum is currently rebuilding a body of work and plans to release a new collection in Fall/Winter 2022.
