New York born, prairie raised and Vancouver Island dwelling, Olivia’s background is as unique as her artwork. She is self-taught and loves to explore her artistic side, especially alongside her two young children. The raw beauty of the natural world will always be her main source of inspiration - particularly wildlife, wildflowers, and the magnificence of the prairie skies. Olivia is best known for her adorable baby animal faces and nursery artwork.
All artwork is sketched and then hand-painted in watercolour by Olivia Leskiw. From there, the paintings are scanned onto a computer and can be then made into art prints, stickers, clothing transfers and greeting cards. She works in collaboration with a local printer for my card printing and clothing wholesaler to make all of the apparel of which she applies her art to by herself.
We respectfully acknowledge that the Filberg Festival takes place on the unceded traditional territory of the K'omoks First Nation, Gila 'kasla...Hay ch q'a'.
