Olivia Thornburg

I just like to bring to life the ideas I think of in the form of animals who dont speak any words; sometimes thats easier to understand, IMO

What is your favorite type of art to create?

When I do, I tend to lean towards making paintings or working with ink. I also have been introduced to sculpture making, and I enjoyed it so I would want to do that again some time. I like to find symbolism and meanings and heavily influence that in what I make. Something else that is important to me when it comes to creating is using the literary device, double entendres, and finding deep, double meanings either before I make it or afterwards so I can add to a piece. Organic and semi-realistic.

Where do you find inspiration?

Inspiration always comes to me randomly, but especially when I am listening to music or if I am in a conversation with other people, anything that gets my brain going. I also find inspiration by looking at any previous pieces and by studying similar art styles from different artists. Any pictures of nature and animals that I get.

What would you do with $25,000?

If I were to receive $25,000, the first thing for me will always be to give it back to my parents. At my age, the only thing I could realistically do with that kind of money would to be put it into savings, but fortunately, I was blessed with parents who don't think twice to help me with any problems I might face so without a doubt all I ever want is any way to give back to them to make life easier for them any way that I can. Because of them, I dont have to worry when life happens.
