Olivia Collins is an Australian painter, who is well known for her glamorous abstract designs. With a background in corporate marketing & support and commercial art gallery management, Olivia returned to her creative roots after the birth of her first daughter in 2012, realising that life was too short not to pursue her passions. Inspired by the interior design world's growing fascination with resin, Olivia partook in a series of resin painting workshops, and has not looked back. Captivated by the experimental nature of the medium and enamoured with the high gloss finish that results, Olivia began selling her resin designs at local arts & craft markets, and thus ‘Olivia Collins Art and Design’ was born. From those humble beginnings, Olivia's art practice in her Bayside home studio has grown from strength to strength. Olivia has gone on to paint a number of popular works selling originals to collectors from Australia, the US and the UK, secured both private and commercial commissions and established global print-licensing arrangements for her designs.
2020 has been a busy year for the artist. Olivia has been commissioned to create three large-scale pieces for the Crown Sydney (Sydney’s six-star luxury hotel resort at Barangaroo on Sydney Harbour, which is set to open later this year), and has also been selected to paint a sculpture for one of Victoria’s biggest public art projects for 2021/2021 - the RCH150 Anniversary Art Trail, which celebrates and raises funds for the amazing medical support and care the Royal Children’s Hospital provides to Australian families.
Olivia is currently accepting commissions for residential and commercial spaces, and is available to consult on styling decisions including sourcing furniture and artwork (Olivia herself collects art by a number of emerging and established Australian artists). Purchase Olivia's original artworks and prints online or contact the artist to arrange your exclusive commission.
