Olga Volchkova (Russian: Ольга Волчкова; born 1970) is a Russian-born artist currently resident in Eugene, Oregon.
[7][8] She worked as a conservator and curator in the Tver Oblast Art Gallery, and joined a journeyman team of important early post-Soviet iconostasis painters and restorers.
There she pioneered the commercial use of scanned watercolors in webpage design, a laborious approach that won her no imitators, but many admirers—Workspot took the 2000 Linux Journal award for Best Web Solution.
Within a year, Pilchuck also selected her work for their annual live auction, in the company of some of the world's most famous glass artists.
[22] She also played the central figure in music videos released by Mute Records for the album,[23][24] created by Danielle de Picciotto.
Her latest major series of paintings, original icons known as the 'Garden Saints',[25][26] were part of two Art exhibitions in Berlin, and two in Hamburg, in 2012 and 2013.
[38][39][40] The icon series includes over a hundred plant canonizations, nineteen of which were exhibited from 2015 to 2016 at the University of Oregon's Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.
[50][51] Volchkova occasionally teaches Icon painting at the University of Oregon's Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art,[52] and she is the topic of research projects.
