We are Mythic Artists crafting sculptural leather masks and adornments for your life. We draw our inspirations from the stories, myths, and fables of our ancestors, and the modern creations of great fantasy artists of the past and present. Creating our art is about bringing legends and myths into form. Each Fairytale we tell our children is a cultural inheritance going back to our ancestors. By finding meaning and inspiration in modern myth & nature we can connect with the intimate relationship our forbearers had with the world around them, and still face forward into the 21st century.
Leah Odom is a native daughter of Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay country. The rich environment of the region strongly shaped her love for the outdoors and the wilds. As a teen, she found work at the MD Renaissance Festival learning the craft of mask making. Many years of this work prepared her to embark upon an independent career as a “mummer”. Leah’s continuing passion for craft and beauty has helped fuel an amazing ability to capture in brush and paint the subtle shades of a butterfly wing or the exuberance of a fairy face! Through painting she expresses the deep need we all have for the creative act.
Shane Odom is a native son of the ruggedly beautiful landscapes of north central Texas, When he attended his first renaissance faire as a child, he knew he had found his calling as a craftsman. A life-long interest in art & design has lead him to explore many mediums and techniques. A continuing love for myth and legend guided him to a passion for Masks and his profound attraction to the image of the “Green Man” has helped create the Beneficent Order of the Greenman who appear at events around the country.
We have been in business since 1997, and feel that our various interest and artistic skills, combined with a love of all things creative, help to round out a truly “Miscellaneous” experience.
