We talked about Olga's journey from Toronto to Japan to the UK and the different art scenes. She shared her commission process and how, becoming a full-time artist during Covid, has forced her to embrace selling online. She shared her tips for doing one line figure drawings and the benefits of keeping a sketchbook.

I am an Artist and Art Educator from Toronto, Ontario.  After earning by BFA at York University and a Bachelor of Education from the University of Toronto, I decided to go on an adventure and to teach English in Japan!  I thought I'd be away for 1 year at most.  I completed a Masters at Goldsmiths and have lived in the UK since.  I am based in Haslemere which borders three stunning counties; Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex.  My paintings are based on memories, travel, nature and whatever takes my fancy!
