Description
Olivia De Berardinis was born in California in 1948 but spent most of her childhood on the East Coast. Her father, Sante De Berardinis, was a freelance aeronautical engineer, and his work kept Olivia's family constantly on the move. Being the only child, Olivia lived in an adult world where she spent much of her time drawing. Olivia's playful, flirtatious mother, Connie, served as her favorite model and muse.
In 1967 she attended the New York School of Visual Arts. Over the next few years she took odd jobs to pay the rent but continued to paint and began to show her work, primarily minimalist oils on canvas. By 1974 financial pressures induced Olivia to seek out commercial art work, and so she returned to the skills she had gained as a child, painting beautiful women for periodicals and paperback publishers. In a short time Olivia secured regular work painting erotic fantasies for men's magazines.
In 1975, Olivia met Joel Beren, and they were married four years later. Living on Manhattan's Upper West Side, they developed a small publishing business, primarily printing Olivia's work as greeting cards. They also created another company to license Olivia's artwork.
In 1984 Olivia met Robert and Tamara Bane and signed her first fine art publishing agreement and limited editions have since been published. In 1987 Olivia and Joel moved to Los Angeles where they reside today.Olivia has had shows throughout the United States and Japan. This original watercolor is titled "Powder Puff. It is beautifully framed with the words "Playboy Enterprises Inc" etched into the glass. The frame size is 50" x 52". This watercolor was recently appraised and all documentation will be past on to the buyer.
