About me

Hi there, I’m an artist and illustrator. Through the use of drawing and painting, my practice explores the realms between reality and fantasy, drawing upon fiction, mythology and history as inspiration, to name a few! Storytelling often represents a form of escapism, utilising the power to travel through time and space, to explore new worlds and experience life through another's eyes. This is the focus of my practice; to remove the viewer from their current state, to journey through a portal to another dimension, even if for a brief moment in time. I primarily work in acrylics and often draw, embroider and experiment with various mediums. Feel free to have a look at my work below! ~~ Portfolio: https://livibates.wixsite.com/mysite/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/olivianichollsbates/
