OLIVIA
RECKERT
I'm an artist, muralist and maximalist on a mission to fight back boring with rhinestones, sparkles and paint.
01 — Children's Hospital
The Courtyard
Erlanger · Chattanooga, TN · 2025
A blank hospital courtyard turned into a park. Hand-painted hills, sky and tulip beds wrapping every planter, so kids stuck inside get an afternoon outside with their families.
02 — Every December
Holiday Windows
Chattanooga, TN · Annual
Storefronts, hotels and bars across Chattanooga, hand-painted onto the glass every holiday season and washed off in January. I've been doing it for years and the list keeps growing.
03 — The Series
Dolly
Studio · Ongoing
The patron saint. Dozens of her, on canvas, on kraft paper, in frames I paint to match. The wall they hang on is the reason this website exists.
Who I am
A MAXIMALIST FEMININE COLOR EXPLOSION
I'm a Tennessee girl. I grew up in Memphis and started painting when my grandfather gave me permission to paint the pool house at sixteen. I never really stopped.
From Memphis I made my way to New York City, where I studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology, before eventually finding my way back to Tennessee—and my new home in Chattanooga.
I don't just paint hotels and houses. I paint my dresses, shoes, purse and iPhone. Paint is cheap, but my hand-painted pieces are one-of-a-kind.
I believe beauty is a vibe. That ordinary things are just waiting for a little imagination. And that life is entirely too short for beige.
So be loud. Be pretty. Be colorful. Don't give a flip.
And whenever you can, help somebody else along the painted pink-brick road.
