Olivia Bennett is an Internationally recognized fine artist, cancer survivor, author, illustrator, philanthropist, and gallery owner since 2004. (at the age of only 14 years). Olivia found her artistic gift at age 5, while battling Leukemia. What started as a hobby and emotional escape from her cancer treatment soon turned into her passion and full-time career. She sold her first painting at the age of 8 and was in awe that someone wanted to purchase a piece of her art. This led to Olivia touring and selling her work at local art shows around Texas. At age 12, Olivia received national attention after her meeting with President Bush, as well as her appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. At 13, she was named, “One of 20 Teens Who Will Change the World” along with Michael Phelps and Kelly Osbourne by Teen People Magazine for her entrepreneurial and philanthropic work.

“The last 25 years I’ve been inspired by nature.

It wasn’t until recently that I realized, I’m not just painting pretty things. These ‘pretty things’ like flowers, butterflies and bees, truly give us life. As an artist, I want to magnify and protect these amazing miracles, in hopes that all of humanity will appreciate the massive impact that they make in our everyday lives. My intention in life is to live authentically, embrace nature, and enjoy celebrating all the beauty and simplicity in life!” Olivia’s raised hundreds of thousands for aligned causes including health and preserving American Freedoms! She’s recently Launched the OLIVIA BENNETT Collection with Twisted X footwear, and her lifestyle brand is coming 2024. Creating a business around her passions has allowed her the flexibility to be a hands-on homeschool Mom—which is her greatest accomplishment. No surprise then that at the end of a long day, she’ll be taking a walk with her hubby, son and new pup, Buster!
