Eli Olson

I'm a Minneapolis-based artist whose work celebrates color, connection, and the natural world. Through vibrant paintings, I explore identity, emotion, and the beauty I find in everyday life. My work has been featured in gallery exhibitions throughout Minnesota, is currently available at Calendula Gallery in St. Paul, and can often be found at art markets across the Twin Cities.

​

In addition to painting, I enjoy creating murals that bring people together. I designed and completed the front desk mural at Queermunity in Minneapoli.

​

I've been creating art for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a forest in my backyard, I developed a deep appreciation for nature that continues to inspire my work today. Whether I'm admiring trees, discovering mushrooms on a trail, or getting excited about frogs and turtles, I find endless inspiration in the outdoors.

​

I hope my artwork invites people to slow down, find joy in color, and see the beauty in the world around them.
