About the Artist
Oliver Lair
Oliver Reid is an artist who was born and raised in Kansas, USA. Being diagnosed with developmental and other disabilities, he aims to make physical pieces of hope, emotions, and life that he wishes to express to himself and those who encounter them. Oliver draws inspiration from the love of what makes us human, nature, and life as a disabled person. Why he creates lies in his hope, story, thoughts of accessibility, and the natural world that constantly strings itself together with our present. Healing through paint markers, glitter, and that there may be someone who felt understood when they didn?t know they needed it. He appreciates the accessibility of art-making as a communicative and life-saving device and a way to foster connection. Art is, ultimately, Oliver's way of weaving life together to form something whole. It is an act of defiance, a letter to himself and those alike, and above all, a way to keep moving forward.
