Artist of the Month
Congratulations to our Artist of the Month for September 2025, Dr. Olivia Novak!
Much of Dr. Novak’s work explores cloudscapes, often paired with motifs of fields, marshes, and beaches. Many of these scenes are inspired by photographs she has taken on walks or during her travels. Through her paintings, she seeks to evoke a sense of quiet peace, offering viewers gentle reminders to pause, look up at the drifting clouds, and appreciate the subtle beauty of everyday life.
