Olivia has always been interested in drawing, painting, and doing anything manual, so she knew early on that she wanted to pursue an artistic path. This realization led her to study at École Boulle, a renowned school of fine arts and crafts and applied arts in Paris, before then moving to New York to hone her talents in illustration at Parsons School of Design.

Intrigued by old painting techniques dating back to the Renaissance, Olivia is committed to using natural materials in her artistry, such as casein, limewash, and tempera. She studied with masters in Belgium, France, and Italy, where she learned to create everything from aged plaster and bas relief to trompe l'oeil, as well as the art of frescoes.

When she is fascinated by a technique, she goes all in and explores it to its fullest to perfect it. While based in Brooklyn, she travels all over the world to enhance interiors with her textured walls and imaginative murals.
