Daydreamin' - Mary Olson

Mary grew up in St. Paul and attended the College of Visual Arts and University of Minnesota, graduating with an Art BA in 2004. Her lifelong ambition is to work full time as a professional independent artist, continually developing new work and ideas with painting and drawing at the foundation. She knew around 10th grade that she wanted to spend all of her time studying art in an open studio environment. Her goal remains: To translate my evolving abstract aesthetic, ideas & process into further original fine art, design and handmade items. Influenced by color and contrasts, architectural landscapes and the natural environment- her creative interests go beyond painting & include design, screen-printing, illustration, weaving, textile design and photography.
