Hold on Darling

Both self and traditionally-taught, Olivia attended Southern Methodist University where she majored in Fine Art. Inspired by the human form and its many imperfections, her focus is on using mixed mediums of paints and pastels, with the decisive use of light and darkness, to portray and express a full gamut of emotions experienced in her life; memories of her childhood lake house with her father – which includes a soundtrack of Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Jr. and Willie Nelson, to name a few – drive her back to a place of pure innocence and joy, the “light” to her otherwise darker themes associated with past personal experiences and questioning self-worth. Her art presents a composition of her stories whether they be playful memories or the journey through life’s traumas and into healing.
