About

Lenville O’Donnell was born in a small town in central California and spent his youth living in Morocco, Italy, Germany, Spain, France and the U.S. He earned a B.A. from the University of Washington studying primarily History and Art History.

His passion for art began the day he visited the Uffizi Gallery in Florence at the age of eight. Len was immersed in art, architecture and music from birth by his brilliant, artistic, insatiably curious mother Mary Ellen O’Donnell, who took him to every great museum, monument and building she could in Morocco, Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Austria and Germany before he was a teenager.

His primary career was as a producer, director and writer in the film and television industry in Los Angeles. 

Inspired by the art he was exposed to in youth, painting was an occasional hobby from kindergarten onward. Len messed around with odd methods of applying watercolor, gouache, and other mediums for years but was never completely satisfied with the results. He began painting abstracts with acrylics in 2025 and discovered a technique and style that inspired him to continue in earnest.

Len lives in the Puget Sound region of Washington State with his spouse and daughter.
