OLIVIA BY DESIGN

"My everyday practice—inside and outside the studio—is a life designed for flow state, peak experiences & deeper living. To me, designing one's life with this kind of intentionality towards surrounding oneself with beauty, meaning & fulfillment—is what it means to live artfully.

Living in this way, my being is the catalyst, channel & paintbrush for the uplifting qualities alive within my artwork: and thus alive within the viewer too. As I fill my own cup, it spills over into my artwork and the lives of others. As expressed by Beaver Theodos, ‘There is little to no distinction between the things I am and the things I create’”. 

Called to replenish this existential need for re-enchantment in the ever-preoccupied 21st century, her impasto abstract expressionist style imbues a sense of expansion, wakefulness & life-affirming energy into everyday spaces; transforming one's environmental psychology from neutral to inspiring — and even sacralizing. 

Fusing her unique process of creation with her research on sacralizing human experience, Olivia is a visionary here to spur one to design a life surrounded by beauty & excellence, while simultaneously revealing to them that “the sacred is in the ordinary." Standing before her work, this is the feeling as whispered in one's ear, while their entire body is awakened to an ignited sense of vibrance, presence & awareness from inside their very own home.
