About Olivia

Olivia Serrill is a Portland, OR-based artist whose work blends abstract and impressionist influences. After studying graphic design at Portland State University, she developed an artistic practice defined by intuitive, textural brushwork, and an exploration of abundance as a central theme.

In 2021, she began creating original oil paintings derived from satellite images. Drawing inspiration from her global adventures, Olivia's unique artistic vision transforms familiar landscapes into abstract "maps" that challenge and intrigue viewers. Her approach prioritizes emotional resonance over pinpoint accuracy, resulting in exaggerated and sentimentally rich interpretations of the world's iconic places, using color palettes inspired by each location.

Alongside these works, she also creates intricate "Life Plans"—abstracted visual diaries that chronicle daily life over time, capturing experiences and emotions through shapes and color. Olivia's Life Plan series can be viewed here.

"I tend to scrutinize even the smallest details—in both work and life—which is why, in my art practice, I use repetitive mark-making as a way to seek clarity and simplicity."
—Olivia
