About
Bio
Christiana Odum is a contemporary abstract painter who creates emotionally driven, richly textured work inspired by her life experience and connection with nature. She works from her home studio near Nashville, TN, where she explores intuitively painting with curiosity.
Artist Statement
After surviving two natural disasters and experiencing a period of grief, I stepped away from painting for three years. Returning to an art practice allowed me to explore my emotional landscape with curiosity and kindness, creating a new body of work reflective of my healing journey. My studio time has evolved to begin each painting session with meditation and self-reflection, resulting in a collection expressing inner light and resilience.
