TKO
PAINTINGS

I’m Taylor Kampa Olson. I’m an artist based in the Washington, DC area. I paint everything from portraits to abstracts to large murals. You may have seen my work featured by the NHL and the Washington Capitals, or available at West Elm and a number of awesome DC establishments. You can see videos of my paintings on my instagram: @tkopaintings. I paint using acrylics and I recently built a print shop to make all of my prints in-house. I would love to create something for you. Commissions are available.

PORTRAITS

I have been painting portraits in my signature style for over ten years. I love capturing high levels of detail and realism while breaking images down. I have painted celebrities, athletes, families, business leaders, and fictional characters. My art has found its way onto the walls of Alex Ovechkin, Nick Backstrom, Tom Wilson, and Ted Leonsis.

Here to create.

ABSTRACTS

My abstracts are designed to complete any space. Inspired mostly by the places I've been, especially the Caribbean, my acrylic abstract art usually evokes a view, either out at a horizon, through trees or windows, staring up at the sky, or looking down from above. I don't stop working on a piece until it evokes a memory or a feeling associated with some special location. I often incorporate metallic media like gold leaf, and create a sense of movement around the canvas. I love creating custom pieces designed to fit elegant spaces.  You can check out more of my abstracts here.
