About The Artist

Olivia Lutz is a painter whose work explores landscape, memory, longing, and perception. Working primarily in oil and charcoal, she creates atmospheric paintings of fields, mountains, tree lines, and animals that hover between the observed and the remembered.

Her practice is rooted in questions of how images are held, altered, and reconstituted through memory. Often beginning from photographs or familiar places, Lutz transforms her subjects into ambiguous spaces where presence and absence coexist. Animals, particularly dogs and horses, appear as perceptual anchors within the landscape, suggesting heightened forms of attention, intuition, and searching.

Lutz received her MFA in Painting from Hunter College. She lives and works in New York.
