Piece description from the artist
As a child, my summer vacation was spent at my grandfather's organic farm in the Appalachian Mountains. He would take me into the woods foraging for mushrooms, wild leeks and huckleberries. Other times, we would sit quietly on the ground together, and he would teach me about the creatures that lived high in the trees, the midstory and nestled at ground level or below. Through him, I learned that humans are interconnected and intertwined with nature and our earth. This philosophy stays with me today while photographing nature, where I am not an observer, but part of what I photograph.
Olivia Joy's love of nature and passion for photography are intertwined, resulting in happy landscapes and modern botanicals. Recently, she has expanded her creative pursuits to include watercolor/ acrylic painting, printmaking, and collage. She has spent time at artist residencies in 2018-2021 where she learned new art forms and taught workshops. Inspiration comes from immersing herself in wild places and practicing mindfulness where she sees everyday objects in beautiful new ways. Her favorite recent travels have taken her to Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Florida, Maine, and Michigan. Olivia Joy's work has appeared in Anthropologie, Minted, Urban Outfitters, Nordstrom, Papyrus Cards, Target, on book covers and on walls of homes and businesses around the globe.
