Aimee Ollinger

Visual Art – Phoenix

Aimee Ollinger was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. She graduated from ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts with a BFA in drawing. Ever since she was young she always had an interest in biology. In her work she brings to the surface an abstract interpretation of botany and the human body from a microscopic perspective. After much research and exploration, she felt it was essential to express this elegant biological world that can't be seen with the naked eye. A combination of mixed media such as ink, watercolor, gouache, acrylic paint, metal leaf, imitation gold mica flakes and embroidery is used to best express her vision.
