Olga Volozova (a.k.a. Olesya Volk, at the art exhibits) is a Los Angeles-based artist/writer. She was born in Russia where she started doodling and also, writing and publishing her tales and puppet plays. She moved to the US in 1992, studied animation at UCLA, then worked doing  web animation and illustrations.

Three of her books, in the graphic novel style, were published by the Sparkplug Comic Books ( Portland, Oregon):" The Airy Tales", a collection of tales, "with a touch of nonsense"; " Rock That Never Sleeps" ( in collaboration with Juliacks, two fantasy stories about the loss of memory) and, based on a legend of a famous kabbalist, " The Golem of Gabirol" ( which made it  into the "Best Comic Books of 2014"  ) Recently she self-published a graphic novel "The Creen Zybari".

In her paintings, she explores the patterns of nature, mostly the tree bark, as a possibility of intuitive "readings" and leaps into the primordial language. She often uses the old Flemish masters technique which she has learned at the Visionary Arts seminars following the tradition of the fantastic realism in Vienna. She exhibits her paintings in Los Angeles and internationally. Her art genres also include mixed media, small dioramas, paper theatre.
