OLIVIA
RECKERT
An artist, muralist and maximalist on a mission to fight back boring with sparkles and paint.
01 — Children's Hospital
The Courtyard
Erlanger · Chattanooga, TN · 2025
A blank hospital courtyard turned into a park. Hand-painted hills, sky and tulip beds wrapping every planter, so kids stuck inside get an afternoon outside with their families.
02 — Every December
Holiday Windows
Chattanooga, TN · Annual
Storefronts, hotels and bars across Chattanooga, hand-painted onto the glass every holiday season and washed off in January. She has been doing it for years and the list keeps growing.
03 — The Series
Dolly
Studio · Ongoing
The patron saint. Dozens of her, on canvas, on kraft paper, in frames Olivia paints to match. The wall they hang on is the reason this website exists.
Who she is
A MAXIMALIST FEMININE COLOR EXPLOSION
Olivia is a Tennessee girl who grew up in Memphis and started painting when her grandfather gave her permission to paint the pool house at sixteen. She never really stopped.
From Memphis she made her way to New York City, where she studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology, before eventually finding her way back to Tennessee — and her new home in Chattanooga.
She doesn't just paint hotels and houses. Olivia paints her dresses, shoes, purse and iPhone. Paint is cheap, but her look is one-of-a-kind.
Olivia believes beauty is a vibe. That ordinary things are just waiting for a little imagination. And that life is entirely too short for beige.
So be loud. Be pretty. Be colorful. Don't give a flip.
And whenever you can, help somebody else along the painted pink-brick road.
