Meet the Artist
Howdy! I’m Olive: a graphic designer, multidisciplinary artist, and environmentalist from Dallas TX, now based out of Pasadena, CA.
I love to experiment with different mediums, new technology, and bold color palettes, often bringing elements of tactility and traditional art into my design work. My artistic practice involves digital illustration and graphic design for communications-related projects, as well as embroidery and printmaking in my personal practice.
Please explore my notable projects below, or view the full extent of my work in “gallery” and “blog”. Thank you!
