Olivia Twist is an Illustrator and Educator from East London with a socially engaged practice which centres community.

The key threads which can be found in her work are place, the mundane and overlooked narratives. Her visual language comprises of a myriad of esoteric layers informed by a propensity for human-centred research methods.

As a practitioner her aims are to provide her audience with 'the shock of the familiar' and to trigger greater intergenerational discussion.

She has a particular interest in participatory design, relational aesthetics and documenting social history as it unfolds.

Olivia’s work can be found in the permanent collection of the Museum of London. She has designed a special edition Air Max 95 Sneaker for Nike. Her practice spans artists residencies both here and abroad, advertising campaigns for Apple Music workshops for National Portrait Gallery, editorial illustrations for Penguin and murals for local youth groups.
