NEWS FROM OUR RESIDENT ARTISTS

Kayla Olive is the SVAD Studio Artist in Residence for the month of August. She is currently a second year MFA student at SVAD studying painting. From Kayla “My current body of work is a series of paintings that focus on the figure, the painting process, and color. The connection that humans have with other humans, even if it is a painting of a human, has always entranced me in a way that no other subject matter has.”
