My name is Jeffrey Odiorne. Welcome to my website.

The painting above is titled “The Reef”. It is acrylic on canvas and is 52” x 116”.

I became interested in art at a very early age when my family rented a farmhouse in Chester County, Pennsylvania which was owned by the renowned artist, Wharton Esherick, whose studio was nearby. We lived there for 12 years and I was fascinated by the creativity that I saw everywhere, every day.

Inspired to pursue a career in art, I studied Fine Art at Cornell University and the Philadelphia Museum College of Art where I received a BFA degree.

Following a decades-long pursuit of ideas in the highly competitive world of advertising in New York City as an Art Director and a Creative Director, I began to devote my creativity exclusively to painting. I enrolled in painting classes at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Ringling College of Art & Design, and studio courses with artist Kassem Amoudi at the Main Line and Wayne art centers in suburban Philadelphia. I found the continuing education and inspiration to be invaluable while I embarked on my new journey.

I have been an admirer of, and inspired by, many masters of different aesthetics, including the major abstract painters, Pop artists, impressionists, realists, etc.

My own style continues to evolve in a variety of directions. I am equally interested in the gritty textures of the city as I am in the calming rhythms and beauty of nature. One consistent element is the energetic use of joyous color.

Many of my paintings shown here are in private collections, but others are available. I paint almost every day and try to update my website frequently, so visit often to see the latest work.
