About the work: 

This piece will always have a special place in my heart as the first of my latest collection, 'inklings of the beginning'.

This is the first collection I endeavoured to create after deciding that I would begin the process of professional artistry; register my business 'Olivia by Design' as a sole proprietorship in British Columbia, design an e-commerce website (voila!) and take the many daunting steps necessary, each new day committed un-ambiguously to the journey to professional artistry. 

I had been painting and making somethings-out-of-nothings all my life, but never as a deep practice committed to both professionalism and bringing triggers for transcendence in the form of artwork directly to the homes of others. 

For me, this piece foreshadows all of the beauty that I was still to bring to life. It is the ultimate depiction of the beauty inherent in The Beginning. 

It it something latent with unforeseen possibility. Overflowing with a benign feeling of destiny. Its jubilant -- and its worth celebrating. 

This is 'The Jubilant Celebrationist.'
