Catherine Odell

Catherine's childhood spanned the globe, and helped her to develop an appreciation for all the different lives a person can live.  She has been to all 50 states in the US, lived in six, and has called Portland home for 14 years. She earned a Bachelor of Industrial Design at Syracuse University, and continued to develop her observational and problem solving skills while working as a product designer at Ziba Design. The call of the open road pulled her from that desk and into the life of a touring musician. She played cello for Sea Wolf and Horse Feathers, making multiple laps around the country and a few stints in Europe, until her sketchbook started to complain and eventually demanded a more stable surface.
