Odell is an artist working in both the commercial and fine-arts fields, usinggouache and assorted papers to create her cut-outs.
Evoking pathos, a dry humor and the absurd, the cut-outs address the ephemerality that defines consciousness and the fragility of identity. In her cartoons, tentative characters tolerate and express varying degrees of anxiety.
She has also worked extensively with printmaking, video and stop-motion animation.
Lara has art degrees from UC Irvine, SUNY Buffalo and The School of Art and Design, NYSCC at Alfred University, New York.
