Olivia Stude’s paintings examine religion and identity in outdoor settings bathed in sunlight. Olivia combines narrative painting with plein air painting through her subject matter and application of lively color. Olivia paints in oils over brightly toned surfaces utilizing energetic mark-making, color-cradled highlights, and transparent saturated shadows to orchestrate natural light and depth within her allegorical paintings.
