Liv’s first “audience” was her parents. When she was little, Liv would bring them drawings that were basically stick figures and chaos on paper, and they reacted as if she had handed them something priceless. The reactions were probably a little fake, but the awe felt real enough to her as a child. It made her feel appreciated, and it made her want to keep creating.
What mattered was that their encouragement did not change as she got better. When the stick figures turned into actual drawings, they did not suddenly turn it up or start grading her. They encouraged her in the exact same way, not more, not less. They cared that she made something. They treated it like it meant something, whether it was “good” or not. That is the first place she learned what art can be: proof of attention, effort, and love.
Liv kept making art as she grew up, but during school she drifted away from it while focusing heavily on music. After college, Liv came back to painting, and it immediately felt like returning to herself. She does not regret it for a second. It is the kind of work that gives energy back. It makes her happy, and she loves making things that other people connect with.
That is also where Livin Wild Art comes from. Liv has always been a gift giver, and she believes art is one of the most personal gifts one can give. That is why the brand carries the line “The Love Language.” It is built for gift giving in every form, for someone you love or for yourself, because you deserve to live with things that bring you joy.
