Greetings, Precious Darkling🦇🎀

My name is Olivia Faust, and I am a Canadian artist & maker of enchanted things. I have a Bachelor of Illustration from Sheridan College, and I am inspired by ghosts, glamour, cakes & kitsch. I am constantly making things and bringing my strange & unusual ideas to life!

I like to work in a variety of mediums including ink, clay, & felting wool, but my true love lies with gouache paint. Through my work, I am always striving to create unique retroesque colour palettes that instill feelings of nostalgia and spookiness.

I work from my vintage storybook home, named, Rosebud Cottage - built in 1885. When working, I must always have a cup of tea close at hand, and my Siamese cat, Henri, is often nestled snug in my lap.

When not creating art I can be found searching for oddities in antique shops, ghost-watching in graveyards, or practicing vintage hairdos.
