Olivia Gossett Cooper is a contemporary artist and creative director based in New York.
Throughout her creative career, Cooper has always been drawn to the power of storytelling.
In her artwork, she finds joy in the observation that, throughout humanity, across geographies and time, we have the natural instinct to tell the stories of our time on the walls around us. The caves of South America. The rocks of Sweden. The tombs of Egypt. The walls of every child’s house… it is naturally within us all.
Her work explores this notion and opens the viewer to interpret each piece as though it was just found. Unclear from where or when, but distinctly human with nods to contemporary topics.
As a creative director, Cooper began her career as a copywriter, quickly learning from the best art directors in the world, and paved a career as a multi-disciplinary creative. Using both visuals and words, she has been able to lead teams to tell stories for award-winning campaigns and brand ID systems.
With a passion for sustainability, Cooper received an MBA in Sustainability to better understand how creativity can be best positioned for a more considered world.
