Meet the
Artist
Hi, I'm Oliver. I'm a gardener by day and freelance visual artist by night. I make whimsical, colorful pieces that center around nature. I work in different mediums: acrylics, watercolors, gouache and digital. Much of my inspiration comes from nature and botany and the work of commercial background artist who create such stunning environments. I grew up on a lot of cartoons and video games and I can see the influence environmental art have on my current paintings. I use a lot of bright saturated colors and enjoy contrasting organic forms with simple geometric shapes, giving the pieces a playful, fantastical feel.
