About the Artist

Olivia Arts was born in 2002 and raised in Southampton. She early developed a keen interest in drawing and pursued this passion throughout her school years. At the age of 18 she began her training at the Charles H. Cecil Studios. Olivia draws inspiration from Van Dyck, Velázquez and Gainsborough, particularly their mastery in capturing the essence of their subjects. A resident of Florence, Olivia works as a full-time instructor of drawing and painting at the atelier.
