I’m Liv

A woman with long blonde hair wearing sunglasses, a black skirt, and a baby carrier on her chest, is handing something to a young girl with curly hair wearing a black dress and pink sandals, outside on a brick sidewalk in front of a pink brick building with potted plants and outdoor furniture.

This place was created in 2016 when my heart ached to create something that could serve as an access point to myself. A place that could be a holder of all the ways that I created and expressed myself freely in life. As I was searching for purpose in my young adult years, I noticed that creating a connective experience in all things was my mission. If I didn’t feel connected in an authentic way to what was in front of me, I couldn’t engage. I didn’t want to.

A little bit about myself:

My name is Olivia Stryker-Monte, I go by Liv Monte in my community. I have been an artist for over 17 years (likely my whole life lol this is just when I started painting on purpose). I teach movement, manage a Yoga + Wellness Studio, manage social media for small business, Enneagram Consulting, and my most honorable line of work — a Mama. I love variety (incase you didn’t notice!). I am a homebody, I love to make things beautiful, online shop, and a good cocktail. I love creating because I am sensitive to my surroundings and experiences— what something feels like, how I remember it, etc. Nostalgia runs deep in my bones.

How something makes you feel is important— so I create. I call it lifestyle, because it’s mine.
I’m glad you’re here, welcome.
