About
Olivia
 From
her stained glass studio in Phoenix, Arizona, Olivia will
transform your vision into a unique custom designed stained
glass piece of art for your home, office or work place.
Born in Paris, France where she studied art, Olivia has
now been having fun creating designs with stained glass
for 28 years.
After
moving to the US and back several times, developing her
skills and artistic eye, Olivia settled 20 miles from Paris
in a 12th century farmhouse that she restored for several
years. At that time, stained glass was just a hobby, but
there was such a demand for her art that it soon became
a full-time job. Olivia had her gallery EXOTICA in the Paris
region.
After
selling her farmhouse, she moved to the south of France
where she helped a friend establish her gallery "Place
Des Arts" in Toulouse.
Olivia
then moved to Gabon (Central Western Africa) and had her
gallery OLIVIA VITRAUX. She spent 12 years there before
becoming a resident of Arizona. She feels that her African
experience is a fertile source of inspiration as she integrates
African designs into her already diverse portfolio.
While
in Africa, Olivia won the first prize in a contest for the
entire territory of Gabon in 2000. The theme was "The
Entry into the Third Millennium" and she was unanimously
named "Genius artist of the 3rd millennium" because
of her outstanding creations such as, "The Blue Planet".
"The Wing of the Angel", "The Unity of all
Religions", and "Technology and Communication".
Being
a sun worshiper and desert lover, Olivia is now living in
Phoenix, where she created her studio and company, Visions
By Olivia. She has an abundance of ideas centered
around the African theme and specializes in African design.
She also enjoys designing abstract and contemporary pieces,
as well as nature subjects. She is constantly striving to
purify the line.
Her
versatile personality, along with her unique style and flair
for rich colors, come together in art pieces truly out of
the ordinary - where she mixes textures using rocks, metal
and whatever suits her fancy. Olivia particularly enjoys
creating freestanding screens, figurines, and wall hangings.
Her original collections are found throughout the world.
Special
orders welcome.
