  • Olivia Frances
    Olivia Frances
    Musician
    Cincinnati native, Olivia Frances is a 19-year-old singer-songwriter and musician with a sunny disposition. Wisdom shines through her folky pop-country musical creations, which is obvious to listeners on her newest album, Evergreen, which serves as a follow-up to her 2013 debut album Back To Happiness. Evergreen is a product of Olivia’s gap year she spent in Nashville, TN before attending college. The album is a collection of songs from various co-writing sessions as well as songs she’s written by herself. While in Music City, Olivia had the opportunity to record in the Riverfront Recording Studio and at Studio 19 with talented musicians. To build anticipation for the record, she released some of these songs during her #SingleSteps project. Taking a gap year in Nashville enabled Olivia to focus on her distinctive blend of catchy- pop melodies and the storytelling aspect of country music. She has graced the stages of some of Nashville’s most popular songwriter venues including the iconic Bluebird Café and the notable Commodore Grille. She was also interviewed by Nashville Public Radio on the topic of musicians’ use of social media. The story went national and aired on National Public Radio in May 2015. Other radio stations that have featured Olivia’s music include Canada’s In the Country, WRFA in Jamestown, NY, WBRT in Bardstown, KY, VRadio Nashville and more. Although Olivia did not grow up with musical parents, she credits her mother and father for shaping her into the hard working and inquisitive young woman she is today. She began playing piano at age six and at age twelve she developed a passion for guitar and songwriting. By the time she was in the 8th grade Olivia was taking vocal lessons at the University of Cincinnati’s College Conservatory of Music. Since the age of 12 Olivia has been a member of the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI). Olivia’s time in Nashville allowed her to fully immerse herself in all that the songwriting organization has to offer its members, including the opportunity to co-write with songwriters like Billy Lee (“The One” by Gary Allan) and to pitch her music to heavy-hitting music publishers such as Warner/Chappell Music. Olivia is currently a Freshman at Clark University in Worcester, MA. She remains dedicated to her craft and hones her skills with disciplined daily practice and regular live shows. Olivia draws her musical inspiration from individual songs such as Bon Iver’s “Skinny Love” and Carolina Liars’ “Show Me What I’m Looking For.” In 2015 alone, Olivia has played 70+ shows. Her #SingleSteps tour included 8 shows in 4 different states. Olivia has also performed live at fairs and festivals all over the US including the Asian Food Festival in Cincinnati, OH, The Outdoor Festival & Expo in Nashville, TN and ArtWeek in Boston, MA. Even though touring and travelling is something Olivia knows well, she still loves to perform at premier venues in Cincinnati, such as The Underground and 86 Club. The infectious positive energy Olivia and her music evoke is celebrated by her growing fan club known as “Frances Friends”. Loyal fans and new listeners alike can keep up with Olivia’s new album release of “Evergreen” now and her upcoming shows on the East Coast at www.oliviafrancesmusic.com – See more at: http://oliviafrancesmusic.com/Bio#sthash.dEgytdLt.dpuf

  • Pat Olding
    Pat Olding
    Visual Artist: Painting
                Pat Olding Artist Statement My painting is meant to be a path of discovery for me and the viewers. Together we become cognizant of the world’s colors and observed colors layered into each subject. This rich layering of paint leaves a history of the strokes. These strokes and the subject are integrated and cannot be separated. I never want to paint the “too beautiful,” but I believe the unnoticed need to become the preeminent subjects of my paintings. Using the palette knife liberates me to command big scale focus strengthening my ability to execute representational images. My painting process includes bashing and smashing colors together, carving edges, and purposely messing up other edges. Sometimes I scrape the surface and repaint the entire surface again. After I put my painting through all these destructive exercises, it emerges. It may sound convoluted, but it works and it’s fun. Painting became a full-time passion in 2001 after practicing architecture for 17 years. Pat’s studio is at the Pendelton Art Center. Cincinnati’s Clifton area has been my home for over 20 years with my husband Andy.
  • Holly Price
    Holly Price
    Choreographer
    I fell in love with art at Northern Kentucky University. I graduated in December of 1999 with a BA and a dance minor. I have participated and created art and performance in Cincinnati for more than 18 years. I work with and explore a variety of disciplines, as well as many mediums, but the human body has always remained the focus that has tied my experience and studies together. For me art is a gift to my own humanity. Mini studies of life that reflect, describe, communicate, stir or spark thought and wonder. I hope to inspire people to learn more about themselves and the world around us. Contemporary Dance Theater and their Performance and Time Arts series was a big part of my life. I had the privilege to work with Fanchon Shur on her piece Fight, Flight, Freeze: Instincts for Healthy Living for many years. About 14 years ago I started receiving formal training in aerial ballet. First at a workshop by Jo Krieter called Off the Ground Dances in San Francisco, followed by aerial silks workshops in Vermont through Nimble Arts Studio. I worked with Jamming Talent Productions as an aerialist. I received an individual artist grant through the city of Cincinnati in 2009-10. I have been lucky to work at BodyMind Balance Pilates and GYROTONICS Studio teaching pilates for almost 15 years, where I recently began teaching GYROTONICS as well. My beloved second job is teaching aerial silks and some pole fitness at the lovely Bella Forza Fitness.

  • Brian R. Williams
    Brian R. Williams
    Designer: Graphic; Visual Artist: Illustration
    I graduated from the Columbus College of Art and Design in 2003, where I studied Illustration, Fine Art and Art History. After school I worked as a graphic designer at the Columbus Museum of Art before moving to SRA/McGraw-Hill in 2006. I’m currently a freelance graphic designer and adjunct instructor at CCAD where I teach design, figure drawing and art history courses. I also try to exhibit my artwork in at least one show a year. I’m inspired by the way that humans, throughout history, have used myth, folklore and storytelling as a means to reconnect with the natural world. We have a habit of personifying animals in order to be able to relate to them on our level. But I’m also inspired by the exploration of the natural world using scientific methods; historical as well as modern.
