Sigrid Olsen was encouraged to create as soon as she was big enough to hold a crayon. Exposed to museums and artistic family friends including the famous sculptor Alexander Calder, art was part of her life from the beginning. As a creative artist, she’s had more than 30 years of notable success in textiles, design, and women’s fashion. Recent years brought Sigrid a period of personal hardships including the loss of her multi-million dollar national fashion company, a battle with breast cancer, and the sudden death of her husband, but she has turned those hardships into positive opportunities and is rediscovering her creativity and joy as she begins her next chapter in life.
