About The Artist

Greta Olson is an interdisciplinary artist based in Chicago. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2023.

Greta’s artwork is inspired by folk art, magic, and nature, often telling stories through bold colors, organic forms, and mixed materials. She describes her process as “playful prayer”— a journey of collecting, experimenting, and discovering. She explores a wide range of mediums and enjoys how working with different materials and techniques opens new creative possibilities.

Greta’s passion for public art and community-driven projects is at the heart of her practice. She creates mosaic murals that transform public spaces into welcoming environments, aiming to integrate art into daily life and foster connection and healing. She views art as a way to care for her community and loves sharing this joy through teaching and collaboration.
