The inspiration behind Olive & Oakleaf Studio was my cat, as well as the love for the flora of the area I was born and raised in.

MEET Olive
Olive has been my companion since August 2018. She was found at a gas station by a friend in Tennessee who had been travelling through from Texas to New York. Back then she was only five months old, and a skinny stray looking for her forever home. Growing up, I always wanted a cat of my own, so I quickly messaged my friend to tell her that I would take the kitten.
She turned out to be a spunky and small cat with a short striped tail, and a big personality. She is now five years old, and loves finding new places to sleep, and hanging off her cat tree with her front legs fully extended.
