Hi! I’m Olivia — a glassblower, maker, and forever nature-lover based in Peoria, Illinois.

Born in 1994 in the heart of Illinois, I’ve always felt a magnetic pull toward creating. That lifelong spark led me, in 2019, to the glowing heat of a glassblowing studio — and I’ve been hooked ever since. For the past five years, I’ve worked at J. Draper Glass as the Hot Shop Manager and one of the lead gaffers, where I help teach public classes and assist in bringing big visions to life.

Each week, I pour passion, precision, and plenty of sweat into the pieces I create. This work challenges me, pushes my skills, and fills me with joy. I’m beyond excited to finally share my own personal body of work — a playful, colorful reflection of the things I love most: the wonder of nature, the vibrant palette of the earth, and the imaginative curiosity that’s never left me.
