During September Gallery North celebrates the paintings of
watercolor, oil, and acrylic artist, Judy Odell. The
colorful show will feature a variety of subjects including
florals, landscapes, and seascapes as well as abstract
works.
The public is invited to meet the artist and view her
paintings during a reception at Gallery North on Thursday,
September 18th, from 5:00-8:00p.m. Light
refreshments will be served.
Born in the Pacific Northwest, Judy studied art at Olympic
college in Bremerton. Her instructors include the Russian
artist, Sergei Bongart and John Solminen, an internationally
acclaimed watercolorist. In 1991 Judy was honored by the
Frye Museum with a retrospective showing of her work. Many
of those paintings will be available as museum quality
giclee prints.
Currently Judy Odell is a member of Seattle Co-Arts, the
International Society of Acrylic Painters, and a former
member of the San Diego Watercolor Society. Asked about
retirement, Judy insists that artists never retire. “The
days aren’t long enough and there is so much out there to
paint.”
