A Life In Full Bloom by Olivia Bennett
Olivia Bennett is among the rarest of the rare – a pre-teen prodigy in the visual arts. And yet, Olivia’s gift was discovered during her bleakest hours.
Diagnosed at the age of five with cancer, Olivia required more than two years of intense chemotherapy, including numerous spinal taps. Her one and only respite from the pain, nausea and vomiting was painting, which she did for hours on end.
Today, Fully cured and just 12 years-old, Olivia’s career as an artist has taken on superstar proportions as one magnificent painting after another flows from her palette.
