Contemporary artist Olivia Fraser moved to India in 1989. Initially she was a travel painter before apprenticing herself to miniature and pichwai artists from Jaipur. There she learnt the language of a fabulously rich, rigorous and intricate painting tradition on which she has drawn deeply. Combined with her great interest in yoga and meditation, Olivia has produced profound works – paintings that could be considered spiritual road maps to reflect a journey within.

The Lotus, a defining motif, brings alive worlds of sensation in her paintings. She was encouraged to become an artist by her great aunt, the renowned British Surrealist, Eileen Agar (1899-1991).

Olivia will also be signing copies of her book A Journey Within after the talk. Cash or cheque only.
