Olga is a self-taught watercolour artist, pattern designer and botanical illustrator. She originally pursued an art career with botanical illustration, after working in marketing for several years, but then craved for more expression and freedom in painting. She began to blend her knowledge in botany with modern watercolour techniques, creating stunning transparent flower bouquets that have now become her signature work.
When she's not creating individual paintings, Olga is painting patterns for paper and fabrics, or sharing watercolour tips and advice on her YouTube channel.
Olga lives in Bergen, Norway, with her husband and two sons.
