Intro

My name is Derek Olson, and I am an artist. I create my work using classic and modern mediums. I love to draw, paint and photograph. I also create graphic art using Adobe Suites. I am proficient in Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. I love to experiment in the Adobe Suites, to get the desired and sometimes unexpected effect I am looking for in a piece.

As an artist, bringing my own ideas to life can be easy one minute and challenging the next. I have had many Bob Ross moments ("Happy accidents") in my creative processes. I truly enjoy pushing my own boundaries to see what I can create next.
