“EdgyCute” Artist Focus: Kathie Olivas
October 13, 2009
Another impressive featured artist from Harry Saylor’s recently released EdgyCute, Kathie Olivas has been fielding major acclaim for her dreamy, lovingly creepy portraits of children (and more).
A bit about Kathie from the ORBIT website:
Kathie Olivas is a multi-media artist who resides in Tampa, FL. At 29, she has been featured in numerous galleries and museums across the United States and parts of Canada and is represented in the permanent collection at the Tampa Museum of Art. She received her bachelor’s degree in visual arts from the University of South Florida.
Inspired by early American portraiture that often depicted children as small adults in an idealized new land, the characters parallel this vision within their own sense of post-apocalyptic conformity, uniquely documenting their own stories in a mysterious brave new world.
Check out a few of our favorite pieces from Olivas, courtesy of her website MiseryChildren.com:
