Profile

Stephen O’Donnell is a mid-career fine artist, writer, and singer/performer. His paintings are widely collected, both in this country and abroad. Entirely self-taught, he is perhaps best known for his self-portraits, work which most often exemplifies the portrait historié - in which a recognizable subject is portrayed in period costume or mythological guise, to dramatic or comic effect - as well as his small paintings of animals. His premier collection of short fiction, Half-Light, appeared in July of 2023. His work – both literary and visual – has appeared in the literary magazines/journals Nailed, Menacing Hedge, Buckmxn Journal, and Gertrude. He is married to writer and graphic designer Gigi Little, with whom he sometimes performs. Their book, The Untold Gaze – a collection of Stephen’s paintings paired with short fiction by thirty-three authors – was published in October of 2018. They live in Portland, Oregon.
