Martine Oderio

Martine Oderio's practice is grounded in a love of playing with materials and sharing the joy of art-making with others. While ceramics currently sit at the heart of her work, she moves fluidly between sculpture, printmaking, drawing and painting to record and interpret nature and lived experiences. Deeply influenced by her coastal surroundings, Martine's unruly kelp lamps illuminate her studio filled with studies of marine life, sculptures of local trees, and explorations of form and balance. Guided by curiosity and the pursuit of intrinsic design, her work explores connections around place, community, and coast.

Every piece is made with intention, crafted to be an heirloom and designed to feel special, timeless, and a lot like art you can wear to express yourself as the most true version of you
