Out
Side
The
House
Born and raised in Colorado, Olive has been blessed with inspiration by
the epic views of the Rocky Mountains to the vibrant culture of Denver.
As a child she was encouraged a creative life from her parents and her
alternative education schooling that cultivated a strong emphasis on
community, travel, self reliance, and coexistence.
Some of the first influencers linked to Olive’s broad style can be found in a
collection of her favorite illustrated children books, in particular Animalia
by Graeme Base.
Olives style could be described as a combination of all things “outside the
box” filled into one box! From cosmic visionary to surrealist contemporary,
her work ranges from custom hand painted apparel, murals and canvases
to jewelry fabrication and graphic design illustration. Incorporating her
passion for gems and minerals has been a major theme of current works,
along with supporting her fellow entrepreneurs by designing their business
graphics.
Olive’s work is a colorful dance through time and space inspired by stories
of music, culture, natural landscapes, people and animals.
Living, learning and loving through her art, being a full time artist is not
just a means of surviving but thriving for her passion. Olive is mainly self
taught with a Certificate from Red Rocks Community College in Graphic
Design and Jewelry Fabrication.
Pulling inspiration from the beautiful-mess that is this life, Olives wish is
that her art may be an inspiration to keep the fire of child-like love and
wonder, alive and wild in the world today!
