Judy O'Donnell lives in Maine and has been an artist and art educator for more than 30 years. Her art is inspired by the natural beauty of Maine. She creates distinctive figural pieces by combining natural forms found in the forest and sea. These works aspire to show the harmony between man and nature. Judy's inspiration for her work is founded in different mythological stories. Judy’s reverence for nature relates to the environmental needs to protect our earth.
Judy O'Donnell has been a professional sculptor for over 30 years. She primarily exhibits her work at the Portland Art Gallery and the Barn Gallery in Ogunquit. Her sculpture and paintings have been exhibited in shows throughout Maine and New England. She has studied extensively at Maine College of Art with sculptor, John Ventimiglia, painter Diane Dalhke and USM painter Richard Lethem. Judy studied sculptural design for three years under Mike Shaughnessey and Duncan Hewitt at the University of Southern Maine, and earned a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree.
