Our speaker for September is Olivia Wilson and her talk is entitled "Eco Textile Practices".
She is a mixed media artist and educator with 17 years of experience in art education and a Master’s in Fine Art. Her practice explores the intersection of nature, material, and storytelling, with a strong focus on sustainability. She grows and forages for natural pigments, using them to create eco-conscious textiles that honour the earth’s vibrancy.
Beyond her studio work, she is passionate about fostering a connection to nature through community-based art projects in natural spaces. She collaborates with people of all ages to create art that deepens relationships with the environment, blending ritual, self-care, and material exploration. Her work is influenced by eco-feminism and esoteric themes, challenging traditional narratives and advocating for harmony between the self and the natural world. Through art, She seeks to inspire connection, reflection, and a renewed sense of belonging to the earth.
