My name is Connie Odum. My husband, Richard and I are parents of two boys, ages thirteen and fourteen. We love camping, biking, and fishing; spending each vacation traveling to somewhere new is our goal. We have wonderful experiences from Florida to Kansas. We are still looking forward to exploring the Grand Canyon.
I am an active member in my church. Two community projects I serve on are the Secret Santa and the Empty Stocking Fund. These projects help provide food for families and toys for children of need in the community.
During the summer, I help with FISH Ministries with the food bank and summer lunches.
Amongst various activities at school, I sponsor the LMS art club. (See our club pages!) Additionally, I support my boys’ participation in scouts, LMS and LHS Band.
I enjoy gardening, painting, and creating pottery. A big art project, I plan to achieve is to paint some additional murals in my home. I am still planning on carving a life sized carousel horse.
My educational experience consists of art training from the Portfolio Center in Atlanta, Savannah College of Art and Design, Ringling School of Art and Design, and my BA in Fine Art Education from the University of West Georgia, Carrollton. Other noteworthy art experiences were from ceramic study under master potters. Rick Berman (an instructor at Atlanta's
Callenwollde Art Center, editor of Ceramic Times, and writer of numerous published pottery biographies and ceramic articles). Berman is currently giving short workshops in Atlanta. |
