Art de Olivia

Art de Olivia I love painting my client's special things – this is my talent, a ministry, a passion; and a wonderful business. It was the year 1993.

My goal is not to be famous before I leave this earth, but to touch a soul by every eye laid on a piece of my art. I was eleven years old, and little did I know that art could change my life forever. I started by selling pieces of my art to family and friends, friends of friends, teachers etc. I grew up in the small town of Virginia and before long everyone knew me and my paintings. It was an exciting thing to suddenly manage my own business and I learned a lot about handling criticism. While attending High School in Bloemfontein, I sold my paintings to teachers and also found an outlet there. In 1996 I was privileged enough to be part of the Bloemfontein Children's Choir. While joining the choir's tour to America and Canada, I handed a painting to our country's embassy. In 1997 till 1999, I organised a lot of exhibitions back in my hometown, Virginia. After a lot of hard work I found an agent in Johannesburg. In 2000 I was one of the top 5 finalists for the Absa Top Entrepreneur Competition and privileged to join on tour to Europe. This achievement gave me a lot of publicity, and by the end of 2000 I had another two clients in Johannesburg and one client in the Eastern Cape. After a lot of hard work, I sold almost 3500 different sized paintings in 2001. In 2002 I relocated to Bloemfontein again, where after I decided to go to London for a few months - I guess I would call that a break! In 2004 I started with a graphic design course. Using a computer as a design tool is very different from painting, but this inspired my paintings and using different mediums and figures. Since 2006 my art business has grown a lot. I give honour to God's great power and plans for me. Today I am selling my art to a few interior decorators and art galleries. I love painting my clients special things - this is my talent, a ministry, a passion; and a wonderful business.

Saam julle…. Deur O Botha

Saam julle sal ek in die diep blou see tussen niks en tussen alles kan swem
Groen slaai, mozambiek brood en ikkie se oondgebakte prawns sal vir altyd wen

Saam julle sal ek dolfyne gaan soek, braai om elke hoek en blou verf kry op my gunsteling broek.

Die see se lawaai, die kinders se kattermaai en draf tot om elke draai, is ‘n memory in my hart se boonste laai.

Dee se slippie slide glimlag, Charlie se wit vlag, Amber se gedrag… -my grappie-krag vir elke dag.

Rooi koeldrank avontuur, bandjies koop by die uur, kuier om die vuur met my rug teen die muur wil ek soos ‘n gelukkige rooksein hoog in die lug in stuur.

Moenie my kom red van hierdie pret!! Ons het ‘n duur pyn betaal vir hierdie red…
Terwyl ons geweet het, het ons nie regtig geweet ons sou kon sê, ons het!!!

Hier staan ons almal in ‘n bondel, skouer teen
Skouer met die see wat agter konkel
Hierdie plek het geweet ons kom, met ons rooiwyn en bietjie vonkel.

‘n stukkie van my hart sal altyd op hierdie strand bly… tot ons jou weer sien en die maande verby gly.
Want op min plekke kry jy die mooiste sand, die maat langs jou, vir gebed, se hand.
Dankie Abba Vader, vir die warm land.
