Olga
Rader is a versatile artist with a multi-faceted background. Born
in Kazakhstan and raised in Uzbekistan, Olga was exposed to Arabic,
Asian, and Eastern European influences, which continue to find
their way into her work. She graduated from Moscow University with
degrees in Art and Animation Direction, and followed that with a career
at Souzmultfilm, the largest animation studio in Russia.
Upon moving to the US in 1997, she began concentrating on all forms
of her artistic expression; acrylic and oil painting, sculpture, exotic
doll making, and children’s art; illustration for books and
murals. She has exhibited at numerous locations in and around Los
Angeles and more recently Knoxville, TN. She is currently
an exhibiting member of Bunker,
a group of LA-based expatriate artists from Russia and Armenia, FAB,
Fine Arts Blount (County, TN), the Knoxville
Art and Culture Alliance, and the A1
Lab Arts. Olga teaches Hatha Yoga and Tai Chi at Clear's
Silat Kung Fu in Maryville, TN.
Olga’s art is infused with spirit, strength and character that
mirrors her own personality, and is absolutely unique.
