Olivia Hamilton is an artist from Alexander City, Alabama, and a recent graduate of Auburn University. She has been making art for over 15 years, working in realism, tonalism, and surrealism. Her practice spans a range of media, including charcoal, soft pastel, printmaking, metalworking, woodworking, and digital media. Much of her inspiration comes from nature and my experiences with people, and through her work, she aims to reflect on life’s journey, personal growth, and the emotions that words often cannot fully capture. Olivia teaches Charcoal Drawing at the Samford University Academy of the Arts.
