Olga is a Ukrainian-born and New Jersey-based muralist and lettering artist. Thanks to her godfather, she began painting at the age of six and has been an artist ever since. She has created artwork for notable clients, including Crayola, Snapchat, Tillamook, Coca-Cola, Trader Joe's, and others. Olga spent nearly a decade working in the magazine industry, and she reviewed a lot of resumes during that time. One time, someone's father called Olga to ask why she hadn't hired his daughter for a job opening. YIKES! After branching out on her own, and after hundreds of murals and lettering projects, she has a basement full of paint and way too many pens and pencils to know what to do with them. She's also a firm believer that Alphacolor makes the most buttery and saturated chalk you will ever find. Some of her book recommendations are "In Progress" by Jessica Hische, "The Lettering Manual" by House Industries, "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg, and "The Body" by Bill Bryson. Once upon a time, she was afraid of dogs and highways, but has replaced those fears with a love for bunnies, hiking, and typography. Tune in for a talk about fundraising to support those affected by the invasion of Ukraine, how to use toothpicks, tweezers, and paintbrushes to refine food lettering compositions, and what to do when a client tells you to create whatever you want instead of giving you any type of direction. Follow Olga on Instagram @olgamuzician, and check out more of her work on her website: olgamuzician.com. If you're interested in learning how to make art with food and objects, you should take her tactile lettering class on Skillshare!
