Odin Lonning was born in Juneau, Alaska in 1953. Through his mother he is a member of the Woosh-Ke-Taan (Eagle Shark) clan of the Tlingit Nation. On his father's side he is Norwegian.
He was inspired at an early age by relatives and local artists such as Lincoln and Amos Walace, Nathan Jackson and Johnny Avatok, and the culture centers in Ketchikan, Haines and Sitka.
Some of his early works were commissioned for permanent display by the Juneau Centennial Committee, the Juneau School District and the Goldbelt and Sealaska Corporations.
In 1989 he attended the Institute of American Indian Art in Santa Fe, Mexico. After completion of his studies there, and teaming up with another artist, he began showing in larger Pow Wows, Museums, and Invitationals in Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Tucson, Oklahoma City, Taos and Santa Fe.
Recent works in both traditional and contemporary mediums include: carved bowls, masks, paddles, drums, regalia, ceramics, etched glass and copper, wall panels, boxes, black prints and graphic design for jewelry and fabric.
Odin currently resides in Seattle, Washington where he is a student/teacher at the Spirit House Northwest Indian Art School, and does presentation and performs with the Ku-Tee-Ya Alaska native dance group.
