The Karls Family was touched with personal tragedy with the loss of their youngest daughter, Olivia Karls, in early 2024. A self-taught painter, her artistic vision was limitless, and she had the type of creative eye that so many of us dream of having. Her art was an expression of emotions that oftentimes had no other way out, and many of her pieces were not seen until after she passed. To Olivia, her art was never quite finished. There was always more shading, blending, and touch-ups that were needed before it was considered done. And some days she would wake up and start all over, perhaps because she felt different emotionally than she felt the day before. Her work offered a glimpse into the mind of a profoundly talented young artist who lived with mental illness most of her life. Her family saw how the act of creating art could dramatically change the way a person feels. It has the power to calm an anxious mind and to balance out extreme high and low emotions. Each piece of Olivia’s art is different from the last and is a colorful chronology of her short time on earth.
