Olivia Tomlinson

Artist, Print designer and Fashion buyer originally from the midlands, currently residing in West london. Having lived around the world for a couple years and settling back in the uk. I take most of my inspiration from nature and architecture. Fashioning them into trend focused art pieces and prints. I take most of my inspiration from living in a small village near Burton growing up surrounded by rural life. Endless dog walks and country strolls with the family merged with the fast paced city environment. I am forever taking photos with my eyes to capture what I see later into art and prints. I focus mainly on watercolour and line art merging them in photoshop to create beautiful contemporary collections. I've previously worked for print studios across the world and have in the past year started my own small brand for wall art and gifting. 'Designsbyolivia' - I love what I do but I miss colour in my day to day life and the whirlwind of creativity that enthralls the mind. So I took to social media and Etsy and created my own shop with small collections and bespoke pieces on request. I am extremely excited to collaborate with Born and Wild and my first collection is inspired by my love of botanical art - Stemming from my own collections. If i'm not painting away you'll catch me out on a run! I'm addicted to running, it gives me the Last year I completed a half marathon for cancer research raised over £1,000 hence why this sportswear collection is my favourite collab! Combinging my two favourite passions!
