Bewitching Women: A Profile on Artist, Curator (and Working Mum) Olivia Mansfield

Olivia Mansfield (@olivesalchemy) is an is a semi-figurative painter living and working in Milton Keynes. Her artistic background spans many different genres and inspirations, from historical and classical painting and iconography to religion, faith, ritual, symbolism, culture, folklore and Sci-Fi-esque themes. Whilst her wide array of interests might appear a bit overwhelming, her work is tied to the self: as a woman, as an artist (and as a working mother). Her artwork explores the intertwining narratives between the artist, the Cosmos and the universe.

In short: her work unlocks the magic of the world, Mother Earth (Gaia). It is not only her Instagram name and handle which signifies Mansfield’s love for magic and for the occult, but it is her curiosity in the universe which leads the artist to explore such themes through history, the history of art, present and future art world landscapes.
