About
Edward Jules Olivier is a native of New Orleans Louisiana and was born into a family of tradesmen and artists in the 1940’s. As a child, he watched his uncle work, a graphic commercial illustrator and designer that worked at home. Edward was so inspired that he knew one day he would be an artist. At the age of ten, he moved with his family to Los Angeles California where he became truly bitten by the art bug. In the 7th grade, Edward experienced his first art class. Growing up, he took every opportunity to learn drawing and painting; sculpture, ceramics and jewelry making came later. Painting and sculpture became his passion. Edward is largely self-taught and furthered his education at Chouinard Art Institute, East LA College and The University of Southern California. He is influenced by old masters such as Sorolla and Rodin. Present influences are landscape painters Thomas Soltesz and Kevin D. MacPherson.
Edward’s goal is “Through painting and sculpture I aim to expose the inner essence of my subjects”.
