Artist talk with Kelly Oden

Please join us for an artist talk with ceramics artist Kelly Oden.  

Kelly Odden is a full-time artist, specializing in ceramic sculpture and acrylic paintings. Her award-winning sculptures have been exhibited on an international level, and are in many private collections throughout the United States. Her paintings have also received accolades and can be seen in galleries on both the east and west coasts.

Kelly loves giving back to the community through classes and workshops on both the east and west coasts, but also through local community projects and fundraisers with her art. She has been fortunate enough to work with Healing Reins Therapeutic Riding Center, Basecamp Studios, the Portrait Connection, and other smaller organizations in Bend, OR. She has recently started doing more murals locally in Bend, in restaurants, breweries, and furniture stores.

Kelly moved to Bend in 2014 from South Carolina. While she will always be a southern girl, Kelly has really come to love the wild and raw landscape of Central Oregon. When she isn’t at her warehouse studio (with her year-round Christmas tree!), she can be found snowboarding andhiking with her husband, competing in the Scottish Highland Games, and playing with her funny American Staffordshire and two teenagers.
