Kathie Olivas Toys

Kathie Olivas is a multi-media artist who resides in Tampa, FL. Here current work which is titled Misery Children focuses on the constant social desire to assign cuteness. This often serves as a means to make something innocent and more appealing, therefore, non-threatening. Her characters are meant to evoke a nostalgic reaction that reflects isolation, fear, and an uncertainty; yet, at the same time they serve as empowered alter egos.
