Hi! I’m Lauren Bernard, elementary school teacher and artist behind Olive Ink.

Olive Ink began in March of 2020 when I pulled out my watercolors and started painting. Inspired by students that I was teaching online, it was restorative to capture what I saw and felt in the midst of the uncertainty. I shared my art with my students, assuring them that some things remain steady; namely humor, connection and self expression.

Based in Seattle, WA, you can find my cards, calendars, and stickers at Metropolitan Market Sand Point, Bobby Jo’s Mercantile, and my small Etsy shop. I enjoy collaborating and welcome new clients. You can find my contact info below—let’s connect!
