Olga Horvat is award winning artist, animal rights activist and supporter of many charitable organizations.  Her sense of beauty in form comes from innate ability to translate the world that surrounds her into exquisite artworks: exotic wall-hangings; intriguing "art puzzles" made of silk and paper; shocking digital art; and "Royal" dog oil paintings.  When Olga was approached to create an artwork for PETA’s 25th Anniversary Gala, she didn’t give it a second thought. This was the beginning of her new series of animal-related artworks with an emphasis on dog art. "Dogs have always been a passion of mine. They are truly remarkable human companions. Dogs are smart, cute, funny, and compassionate creatures. They deserve to be "crowned" for all the love they are bringing into our lives. I use my art to voice these thoughts," Olga said.

Ms. Horvat holds Master's of Arts from Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. In addition to this, she also has diplomas from Faculty of Arts, Zagreb University, Cambridge and Ely Brass Rubbing Centres in England; CAL Cote d'Azure Langue in France and other schools in Europe. She is the member of Dog Writers Association of America.

She is the recipient of the following prestigious awards: Award for Outstanding Achievement in Decorative Arts; Twentieth Century Achievement Awards, by ABI (on permanent record at the U.S. Library of Congress, Washington D.C.) and Certificate of Excellence for the exhibition "Plan for Peace" by Mr. Stephen Strunsky, The New York Times. She was commissioned by Walt Disney World Co. to create decorative fabric construction.

Her creations have been featured in many professional magazines, such as: LDB interior Textiles; Art News; Accessories; Home Accents Today; Bridal Apparel News; Accessory Merchandising; Gallery and Studio; Home Textiles Today; Gifts & Decorative Accessories; Home Fashions; etc. Her art works has appeared in the books: Art for Wall, Furniture & Accessories; Encyclopedia of living Artists; New Art International; Who's Who in American Art; Five Hundred Leaders of Influence and Dizionario Encyclopedico Internazionale D'Arte Contemporanea (witch translates to International Encyclopedic Dictionary of Contemporary Art).
