Olga Finkel Profile Picture

Olga Finkel

Elwood, Victoria, Australia
Artist (Textile Art)
Born 1961

Olga creates textile art pieces of unique texture, colour and depth, combining her innovative techniques with a broad experience in design and fine art. Her favourite materials are wool and silk, which she hand-dyes to produce an exquisite and unique palette. Olga "paints" with these natural fibres like a painter does with brush strokes, her work invoking a sense of intimacy, inviting viewers to get closer and discover the beauty, depth and three dimensional quality of it.

Olga currently lives and works in Melbourne after emigrating from Ukraine in 1989. She was born in Kharkov in 1961, graduated from Kharkov University and continued her fine art education in Swinburne University, Melbourne. 

She worked in the fashion industry firstly in ladies high fashion, moving to establishing a millinery business with multiple labels, and serving as its Designer and Production Manager for over a decade. After discovering and falling in love with felting, Olga decided to explore this fascinating medium full-time. Since then, she has created series of portraits, landscapes and abstract pieces, and delivered numerous workshops to students interested in her unique methods.

Staying true to her love of textile, Olga has more recently developed a new technique, covering painted canvas with thin layers of dyed silk. This adds even more depth to her work and creates an effect that is almost palpitating.

Olga continues to exhibit in galleries around Australia and her pieces can be seen in many corners of the world.
