Olga is a Chicago area artist and illustrator. Her aesthetic is minimalist and playful, with limited color palettes. She gravitates toward exaggerated shapes and proportions. Olga's artwork is predominantly female inspired and centric.
In 2022 Olga (re)started her ink and watercolor practice to further explore her style. Her work was selected for Watercolor USA 2023 show where it received Award of Excellence.
In 2024 Olga’s artistic curiosity led to experimentation in abstracted figurative oil drawing, the style in which she is most happy creating today.
Olga is half Korean, was born in Russia and lived and worked in London, Paris and New York before settling in Evanston, just north of Chicago where she is now based with her family. She is also a professionally trained chef, entrepreneur, avid reader, caregiving advocate and a former corporate strategist.
