BIO:
Born and raised in Atlanta Georgia, Olivia pursued her career early on; receiving multiple awards and honorable mentions in a variety of regional contests and competitions; including placement among the top ten artists chosen for the Atlanta College of Arts yearly high school juried exhibition for two consecutive years. Olivia attended the Maryland Institute College of Art her foundation year with a portfolio based Presidential Scholarship. However after excelling in a variety of media, Olivia chose to take a year away from scholarly training in order to to travel. “I moved around a lot during my journey as an artist, because I felt I needed to learn more in order to gain invaluable experience, and reassess what area of art I wanted to major in. I learned that choosing to be an artist is challenging, to create with pure love and enjoyment is impossible, it takes research, time, and energy to create successful artwork.”

After one year away from the fundamentals of art, Olivia returned to school at the University of Georgia majoring in Fine Art, but decided to transfer one last time to The School of Visual Arts in New York, where she received her BFA in Fine Art and Illustration. She lived and exhibited her work in New York for seven years.

Spiritual beliefs, humanity, and love of music have been an ongoing inspiration which has greatly encouraged her work. “The messages I want to convey are commentaries on human life, where you have been or where one may be going. I use objects as metaphor in many of my painting, and music often serves as an aid in my creative visions.” Olivia intertwines lush colors, rendered objects and flat figurative line-work, all delicately and meticulously painted. “Ultimately I hope my art expresses that anything is possible if you put your heart into it. However, I also want it to help people see that even when things don’t go the way you think they should, that change can be a beautiful thing, maybe the greatest of things, and to always relish in it.”

Olivia currently resides in Pennsylvania with her husband and child where she continues to create, sell and display her work to the public.
