Olivia Parker

After Parker graduated Wellesley college, she began her career as a painter. By the 1970's she started becoming more involved in photography. She mostly self-taught herself to make epheral constructions that she designed in order to photograph and endless experiments using light. She has had many achievments in her life, which include having more than one hundred one-person exhibitations in the U.S. Her work is also represented in major private, corporate, and museum collections which include as follows:



  • the Art institute of Chicago


  • the Museum of Modern Art in New York


  • the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston


  • the institutional Museum of photograhy at George Eastman House in Rochester, NY

She also has portfolios published which include as follows:



  • Art News


  • American Photographer


  • Camera


  • Camera Arts


  • The Sceinces


  • And numerous other magazines in the U.S, Europe and Japan

In 1996 she recieved a Wellesly College Alumnea Achievement Award.


Now in these days you can find Parker working on pictures that illustrate books, tablets and pages in order to explore the relationship between visual thinking.
