Drawn toward simplicity and balance, Olivia Sokos’ designs contrast with her day-to-day work at West Virginia University in studies of the humanities, where no solution can be found that is less than complex. Repeating patterns and simple structures characterize her pieces, and are accented by stones with beauty so natural, they speak for themselves. In her time outside of Silver Pennies, Olivia enjoys bringing balance to the other parts of her life by reading and cooking.
