Artist Christiana Odum
Bio

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.
