Art has been a part of my life from an early age. 
My father was an accomplished artist and illustrator.
I have many fond memories of coloring with pencils and chalks alongside dad as he worked at his
drafting table.
  My grandmother unleashed my sewing creativity when she
taught me to make a doll dress from her scrap basket. 
From this humble beginning , an artist was born.
I graduated with a design degree,  hoping to enter the fashion world.
Who knew this would lead to designing doll clothing. 
 My many professional  paths have led me to create, 
Olive Rose, my FolkArt line.
Each art piece is created  to reflect my particular style ;outsider meets whimsy.
My work is featured in  shops and galleries across the United States and Canada. 

 Halloween  is my favorite holiday ! 
Growing up with a strong church influence, a nun outfit was my go to costume for trick or treat . 

We are excited to have Olivia joining us at the PARADE OF SOULS show!
