Odette is an impressionist painter living in Edmonton, Alberta with her husband, three children and beloved ‘huskydoodle’. She draws inspiration from her beautiful natural surroundings in the North Saskatchewan River valley and Rocky Mountains close to home. Her love of the outdoors stems from enjoying time spent in nature from a young age, including camping, hiking, sailing and trekking both locally and globally. This has grown into a fascination with trying to capture the spirit, joy and optimism drawn from nature and infusing it into her artwork. Her other creative pursuits include woodworking, gardening, crafting and choral singing.

Although traditionally a mural artist, Odette has tamed the scope of her paintings to contain her latest work in watercolor and acrylic on paper and canvas. The joy and exuberance of her work remains, however, and is depicted in the bright colors and floral hues of nature in all its varied loveliness.
