Irene Hardwick Olivieri (PD6): “I am always painting about love and relationships, obsessions, parts of life which are often subterranean…felt but rarely talked about. Like the shedding of skin, my work explores transformations; where an undeniable need for change can occur that is both exciting and enlightening. An ongoing theme in my work is rewilding the heart, to inspire deeper connections to wild animals and wild lands. After growing up in south Texas, living in Latin America, finally moving to New York, I developed an intense longing to live in a wilder place. Eleven years ago I moved off the grid in the high desert of Oregon, longing to be closer to nature in a more ancient, vulnerable way. I recently moved to Arizona, right next to Saguaro National Park. I’m intensely excited about the wildlife and wild lands around me. My desire is to take experiences and deep primitive feelings and turn them into paintings; taking something that is not visual, making it come alive.”

Through my artistic explorations I realized my auto-didactic ability, which led to experimentation with nearly every type of art-form, but none have captured and retained my affections as strongly as drawing with a ballpoint pen, so that has been my central focus for the past 8 years.” www.artbytai.com
