Who is Olive Grace?

Olive is the example of transforming the inward potential of imagination into the outward reality through art. Beginning their journey as an artist in pre-school, Olive used available textbooks and self-published guides to learn classical art techniques. Have an innate gift for portraits, Olive spent years perfecting their greyscale realism just to pivot directions as a teenager. Olive began to explore painting portraits first in acrylic, then in oil.

Olive's Early Art Eras

Everything painted or drawn was prior to Olive graduating as Valedictorian from their high school. After graduation, Olive went off to college on an astrophysics scholarship and transitioned to digital art.

What did Olive do next?

After a year as a physics student, Olive realized that there would be no space programs to work in if the government were to collapse. Olive transferred to ASU, changed their major to Political Science with an emphasis in religious history. In this new path of study, Olive truly found their place in this world and began to combine all of their accumulated knowledge into mixed media poetry.

Wait, how did we get to jewelry?

Let me, Olive (who only decided to speak in first person here), explain how we got here:

While learning digital art, Olive also began to explore clay. After mini sculptures, many earrings, and years of experimenting later, Olive realized that their artistic visions could be worn by others.

Olive finally graduated from ASU with a Bachelors of Science in Politicial Science. After working in the law field, they decided this graduation was a now-or-never time to take a chance on their art and jewelry... and it worked!
