Olivia Tawzer is an artist from Chattanooga, TN. She received her BFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 2021. Later that year, she received her tattoo license and has worked out of Standard Ink Tattoo Company since her apprenticeship there. 

​

Olivia's painting practice is based in storytelling and figuration. Her narratives emerge from a combination of memories and imagination and explore themes of gender, power, and belonging.

​

Olivia's tattoo work focuses on line-based illustrative and ornamental designs. She created the Grief Garden Tattoo Project in 2022, a bridge between her tattooing and painting practice, which is an ongoing memorial tattoo and storytelling project that has had over fifty participants.
