Studio: 6042 N. 16th
St., Phoenix, AZ 85016
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 new stained glass studio at 6042 N. 16th St, Phoenix,
Arizona, Olivia will transform your vision into a unique custom designed
stained glass piece of art for your home, office, or work place.
Royal Elephant - 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
Tulip Glasses
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.
Fang Figurine
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".
Free Standing Three Panel African Theme Screen
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.
Fish/Seaweeds
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
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!)
Vase
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.
Lotus
In the Wild Kingdom
VAST HORIZONS
It is with great pleasure that, Olivia, Artist
Extraordinaire
and Founder of Visions by Olivia, will be my Special Guest.
