Jeffrey Odiorne


My name is Jeffrey Odiorne.
Welcome to my website.

The painting at the top of this page, “Dusk”, is from a series of urban impressions inspired by the many years I spent living and working in New York City. The second painting, “Myakka Sky #2”, reflects the natural beauty of Florida's Gulf Coast, where I now live and paint. Together they represent two recurring themes in my work—the energy of the city and the peaceful rhythms of nature.

I have been interested in art since childhood. Growing up in rural Chester County, Pennsylvania, on a farm owned by artist Wharton Esherick, whose studio was nearby, I was fascinated by the creativity that I saw everywhere, every day.

I earned a BFA at the Philadelphia Museum College of Art and had a rewarding career in advertising in New York City before devoting my creativity to painting.

My paintings range from urban impressions to abstract landscapes. While the subject matter varies, color remains at the center of everything I do.
