I had leftover photos from the photo sweater I made, so now I have a photo necklace and bracelet. I ended up doing all the jump rings with my fingers instead if pliers, and now my hands hurt. 😅 #photography

Haven't had many updates here in awhile because I've been MOVING (which is an all-consuming process when you're a maximalist). However, I just picked up my pieces from the Staunton Augusta Art Center's "The Latent Image" Exhibition yesterday and found that 1/2

I post my photography on @oliviasphotographyhobby (Instagram) because it's such a huge body of work that I wanted a separate place for it vs. the other art work I do. 1/3

Finished this one last night after the day job gave me a nervous breakdown, so if anyone wants to help out with an immediate, meteoric rise to fame as an artist, tell your friends about my work. 🤷‍♀️ 1/4

Coworker saw me working on one of my sheets of abstract plants and asked (genuinely - not snarkily) if those were the only things I draw (I draw them at every conference). And as I showed her, the answer to that is no ✅️❤️ #art

Olivia @okhismakingart.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Pieces from yesterday are ASSEMBLED. I didn't use all the plants I drew, but that's part of this process. I draw a bunch of abstract plants, cut them out, and see which best fit the prints. What's left over gets saved for future works. 1/5 #abandoned

It's conference week! You know what that means (for me). #drawing

Incredible opening of "The Latent Image" at Staunton Augusta Art Center last night. I'm in the company of so many incredible photographers. I'm also in the room with all the most colorful photos. 😂❤️ 1/2 #photography

By now, you all know I feel very strongly about supporting the local arts and artists. For $10 or $15 a month you can support local creatives through Waynesboro-based Trellis Arts Collective's snail mail art subscription. Read more in the screenshots. Links to both subscription tiers below! 1/2

One of my pieces is the first photo in yesterday's Staunton Augusta Art Center newsletter! 😭❤️ Mark your calendars! Come see this + the other two pieces in person at the SAAC on August 14th! They'll be on display until September 20th, but 8/14 is the opening show 1/2

Good morning! The University of Virginia has an AWESOME new project to purchase art from artists in and around Charlottesville (see website for list of eligible counties) that will then be put up in office spaces to improve employee morale. 1/4 #artatworkuva

Posting more fall because it'll be here in a blink and also because this doctor's office waiting room is cold, and I wish I was wearing this fuzzy coat. Find it here for when OUTSIDE is the part of the world that's cold: theragegarden.etsy.com/listing/1567... #autumn

Fall will be here before you know it. I'm in the process of moving, so I'm pulling things out of closets, and if no one buys this set, I might leave it out for me to wear this year. Find it here: theragegarden.etsy.com/listing/1324... #autumn

Sold a digital download of this last week. I'm thinking of revamping the design. Now is a very relevant time for it. It's laid out a little more nicely below, but the summary is: If you see somebody working hard to make change in one area, 1/3

Reminder that Art Hive Collective is any artist's dream shop. I bought a bunch of mats for frames there this weekend. They've also kindly offered to keep my flower sculptures on display through August. 1/2

Last print hidden in Staunton! Second photo is your major hint. If you know where the Staunton Trinket Trove box is, you know this free piece of art is also nearby. And of course, if you'd rather not hunt, print of "Dormant Pink Camp," available here: www.redbubble.com/i/art-print/... #StauntonVA

Second rant locked and loaded for this week. This one actually DOES focus on solely art, and it's about the absolutely bizarre culture of art creation and art criticism. 1/21

Olivia @okhismakingart.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Good morning! I'll be dropping off my pieces for the exhibition this week, and of course, you're all invited to see my and all the other wonderful photographers' work at The Latent Image opening reception at Staunton Augusta Art Center! Hope to see you there! ❤️

Guess who's tired of this dystopian nightmare and its propaganda!!!! I've McFrickin had it, and it's an Expedia commercial that has broken the camel's back today, so here comes a rant that goes beyond the artistic. 1/21 #dystopia #rant

Yesterday's print was hidden in Waynesboro! In Happ Coffee more specifically because I really wanted a burrito and coffee. This one was also hidden yesterday in Charlottesville before I went grocery shopping. I don't mind telling you because the place 1/5

Olivia @okhismakingart.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

If you know where I go to order this specific burrito every time I go, then you know where this one is. Freshly hidden, so if you know, go (and maybe order some food and coffee too)! 1/2 #abandonedplaces

Olivia @okhismakingart.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

And here's where they went! Prints got hidden in Lebanon, Ohio; La Crosse, WI; and Alderson WV. I did this as a side project of a big driving trip out West from Virginia to Minnesota. 1/2

Olivia @okhismakingart.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Good morning! As of 8pmish last night, the last print in the first set of three was "hidden" And given the photos below and the title of this piece ("Alderson Railroad House Revisited), "hidden" is a bit of a stretch. 1/2 #aldersonwv

Olivia @okhismakingart.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

All three of my pieces have been accepted into Staunton Augusta Art Center's The Latent Image exhibition to be displayed August 7th through September 20th! So excited for this opportunity to display my most recent body of work! 1/2 #collage

Location #2 for hidden artwork. Give it your guesses if you please. First three places to be revealed within the week. ❤️✨️ I was originally going to put this in the downtown of this city because it would be more likely to be found and found quickly, but then I decided 1/2 #hiddenart

Olivia @okhismakingart.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

So I'd alluded to TWO projects coming soon, and here's the second one. I ordered mini prints of my original six pieces from the Revisited / Transported series, and I am hiding them in six different cities. If you know me, and you're local, you can guess three out of the six, #prints 1/2

I collaged them. :) All six prints of my crossover pieces between The Rage Garden and Olivia Hathaway Photography are available here: www.redbubble.com/people/OHPho... #collage

THREE OUT OF THREE COMPLETE. I was working up pretty close to the deadline for submission for the Staunton Augusta Art Center's open call for photography/photography-based work, and I was working even closer to my own personal deadline of having to leave for a trip soon. 1/5

Olivia @okhismakingart.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Working on something. 2/3 done. We'll see if I can get it fully finished by tomorrow. #flowers

Olivia @okhismakingart.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

And here's where they'll be through the end of July! My abstract flower sculptures have been planted in Art Hive Collective - a much better environment really. They're native to maximalism. 1/3

Olivia @okhismakingart.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

In all the discussions I've had about art vs. craft recently, I've always said something along the lines of "Yeah and Andy Warhol stacked the Brillo boxes," and I FORGOT that the reason I know that is because I saw them in-person in the Canadian National Gallery in 2016. 😂 #AndyWarhol

Since I've got some new followers, I thought it'd be nice to introduce myself. Hi, I'm Olivia, and make fine art (drawing, sculpture, photography), modified clothing (my hopecore take on streetwear), and anything else my heart desires (I've natural-dyed clothing, 1/7

These are the flyers I was giving out about my work on Friday. I had meant to include these in the protest photo album but forgot. If you'd like to know more about what happened or what motivates my work, see below! 1/3 #fineart

Olivia @okhismakingart.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

So this happened in the evening on July 3rd, but I didn't want to post personal drama on America's birthday. I decided to participate in the tradition of the Impressionists who were rejected by the Paris Salon and then set up their own exhibition across the street and on National 1/11 #fineart

Back to our regularly scheduled program for a bit. My clothing and sculptures both run on the same vibes of joy and rage. Behold: A shirt for people who read the news and do something about it. Folks who feed their neighbors, sign petitions, go to town 1/2

So one person online said they could see the gallery owner's point about these being "craft" because I use pipecleaners for the stems. While I understand that perspective, here are my thoughts on that: 1/10

Alright, so here's what happened. To be clear, in the screenshots below, I'm communicating with Anita, who is the art show director for The Artisans Loft, and she is an angel. It is the owner, however, who has behaved so unprofessionally that I will NEVER exhibit work with them again. 1/13

Heads up! My Etsy shop will go offline around 2:45ish today, and when it comes back, a handful of items may be gone. I have a meeting this afternoon with a local shop owner to talk about selling more of my work in her store (I sold with her years ago). 1/2
