The Art of Greta Olivas and Leslie Kell
July 27 through August 30, 2014
Greta
Born to ballet dancer parents, Greta Olivas was born in New York City and lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina as a child, before moving to Austin, Texas. She was constantly drawing as a very young child and was encouraged by numerous artistic family members. Her work is about intuition and exploration. It’s about a relationship with the materials and paint. It’s about control and giving up control.

She began her artistic journey as a painter and illustrator but has been working in her current digital style since 2009.
