Olivia is a Swedish-Australian artist, who discovered her need for creativity after chronic illness rendered her house bound and often even bedridden. Painting and photography was her way of surviving emotionally. Olivia's work is colourful and vibrant, and expresses a sense of joy and peace, which is how she feels when she paints. She hopes her work will encourage others to bring colour and art i
nto their lives, as a way of enriching their own well-being. She creates predominantly acrylic and mixed media abstract pieces, though she is also an avid portrait photographer. Her portraits often combine photography and art, as she uses her abstract paintings in the background of the portraits to give them a sense of vibrancy and urgency. She's exhibited extensively locally, at cafes and homeware stores, has been part of many SALA exhibitions, and has donated pieces to various causes.
