Are you looking for a one of a kind totally unique gift for that special
someone this holiday season? This weeks Special Guest presents you
with just that opportunity.

Working from her stained glass studio in Phoenix, Arizona, Olivia will
transform your vision into a unique custom designed stained glass piece
of art for your home, office or work place.


- Olivia will be displaying this piece at the Soiree!

Born in Paris, France where she studied art, Olivia has been creating
designs with stained glass for 27 years. After moving to the US and
back several times, developing her skills and artistic eye, Olivia settled
20 miles from Paris in a 12th century farmhouse that she restored for
several years. At that time, stained glass was just a hobby, but there
was such a demand for her art that it soon became a full-time job.



After selling her farmhouse, she moved to the south of France where
she helped a friend establish her gallery "Place Des Arts" in Toulouse.
Olivia then moved to Gabon (Central Western Africa) where she
spent 12 years before becoming a resident of Arizona. She feels that
her African experience is a fertile source of inspiration as she integrates
African designs into her already diverse portfolio.




While in Africa, Olivia won first prize in a contest for the entire
territory of Gabon in 2000. The theme was "The Entry into the Third
Millennium" and she was unanimously named "Genius artist of the 3rd
Millennium" because of her outstanding creations such as, "The Blue
Planet". "The Wing of the Angel", "The Unity of all Religions", and
"Technology and Communication".




She has an abundance of ideas centered around the African theme
and specializes in African design. She also enjoys designing abstract
and contemporary pieces, as well as nature subjects.




Being a sun worshiper and desert lover, Olivia is now living in Phoenix,
where she created her studio and company, Visions By Olivia.

These Colors Don't Fade (should be "Run" but Olivia insists on
using the word fade. What can I say, she's an artist and French!)

Her versatile personality, along with her unique style and flair for
rich colors, come together in art pieces truly out of the ordinary -
where she mixes textures using rocks, metal and whatever suits her
fancy. Olivia particularly enjoys creating freestanding screens, figurines,
and wall hangings. Her original collections are found throughout the world.

It is with great pleasure that Olivia, Artist Extraordinaire
and Founder of Visions by Olivia will be my Special Guest.

Please plan on joining us to socialize and meet new friends!
