Winter 2010 Updates:
Please note my old e-mail has changed, and to now send all inquiries to: art@oliviapeach.com. Prints are now available for the following paintings. Please e-mail me at if you are interested and I will send you a PDF price list. Prices vary by size, and type of print. I now have limited prints available for “One” Image of One Image of Step Inside Love and Positions in Retrospect (Roses) Image of Roses painting
In addition I am also excited to introduce my line of jewelry in my online shop: www.etsy.com/shop/oliviapeach which includes original artwork pendants, earrings and necklaces. I show and sell my work outside of the online shop so I advise if you see something you love on the etsy site (for jewelry sales) to please be quick about your order because someone else might snatch it up. Most of my jewelry is one of a kind and cannot be reproduced. I only use the best materials and supplies for my work. Sterling silver and rose gold wire, with an assortment of glass, pearl and semi-precious stones, which are all natural. And please note that new hand made jewelry is being uploaded everyday, so check back frequently.
Lastly, I am currently offering up my services to teach private lessons for teens looking to seriously develop their craft as a fine artist, or prepare portfolios for undergraduate college applications.
If you live in the Augusta GA area, and are interested please contact me. I teach jewelry making and wiring, canvas stretching and priming, mixed media, drawing in the following: color chalk pastel, charcoal, pencil (graphite) and colored pencil drawing. Painting techniques in: acrylic, gouache, and oils. I offer lessons in composition, and color theory, and can instruct students how to take their own reference photos, as apposed to them using magazine and add material. (please note that students will get a materials list for the lessons they are interested in, I do not supply materials).
BIO:
Born and raised in Atlanta Georgia, Olivia pursued her career as a visual artist from an early age; 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 where she received a Presidential Scholarship. However after excelling in a variety of media, Olivia began to question what area of art to concentrate on, and took a year off 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.
Her spiritual beliefs and love of music have been an ongoing inspiration, and have 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 Georgia where she is constantly working on new paintings, and displays her work for the public.
