OLIVIA ALEXANDER

New South Wales, AUSTRALIA

Born in London, England in 1961 but growing up in Australia, Olivia Alexander’s inspiration comes from the Natural world. “The rich, red sand of outback Australia, the azure blues of the ocean near where I live, patterns on a tree trunk left behind by peeling bark or the colours of a sunrise playing across the rock faces on the mountains. These are what inspire me to paint!”

Olivia has both formal and informal training, such as Fine Arts, three years of Drawing Classes and over three years of Advanced Mixed Media. She uses complex, specialized mixed media techniques to create Expressionistic Abstracts that capture Nature’s spirit, focusing on it as a force by using emotion, color and texture.

Since 2001, Olivia has been in over 40 Group exhibitions as well as Solo and Joint shows.
She has exhibited and received recognition internationally including Italy, United Arab Emirates, USA, France and Australia. In October 2011 she successfully exhibited at the prestigious Salon d’Automne held on the Champs-Elysees, Paris.

She has won awards in both offline and online exhibitions and her work was recently published in ‘International Contemporary Masters IV’ released in 2011, culminating in a large group exhibition at the Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art in Las Vegas. She has also written several tutorials for two national magazines, ‘Australian Artist’ and ‘The Artist’s Palette”. Olivia now lives on the beautiful South East coast of New South Wales, Australia.
