Olivia is an acrylic painter and illustrator currently pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Colorado Denver. With a deeply personal connection to her craft, she is primarily self-taught and has been passionately creating art since her childhood. Olivia’s artistic practice centers on exploring complex themes such as social issues, self-perception, and mental health, often using self-portraiture and figural imagery as a means of expression.

Her work is influenced by the elements of surrealism and stylized illustration, which she employs to convey both symbolic and literal interpretations of various concepts. These creative techniques enable Olivia to communicate ideas in unique and compelling ways. Through her art, she aspires to stimulate conversation and provoke thought, challenging viewers to engage with the emotional and psychological layers within her work while encouraging them to reflect on their personal experiences.
