More Art From Olivia Thomason

Acclaimed Artist Unveils New Fine Art Prints Brimming With Nostalgia

Four new paintings by Stone Mountain's award-winning artist Olivia Thomason were announced for sale "in time for original Christmas gift ideas." Elaborating, Ms. Thomason said these were fine art giclee prints, highly limited in number and crafted through a process that preserves color and rich detail. "Giclee, she said, "is not a machine copy that can be mass-produced. These are produced one at a time under my personal supervision and the result is stunning."

These works sell for $250.00 each and are signed. They are on museum quality paper and like all of Olivia Thomason's works, will appreciate in value.

With a career spanning over decades, Olivia Thomason continues to share memories of early times in the South when family and neighbors honored the joys of everyday living. Bruce Shelton, Nashville's highly respected art collector and critic praises her work as "some of the best examples of memory painting we have today."
