Design Your Life with Vince Frost

Designing Dinosaur Designs

06 May 2024

Description

People are considered lucky when they find something they’re skilled at and love, then make it their vocation. Growing up with a parent they’ve inherited that skill and passion from helps, especially when they’re exceptionally talented. Both Louise Olsen and Stephen Ormandy have parents who helped them on their path to a life shaped by creativity. Olsen’s father, John Olsen, who passed away aged 95 in 2023, is arguably Australia’s most famous artist. Her mother was a painter, too. Ormandy’s mother was a sculptor, who tirelessly championed his creative pursuits. He knew he wanted to be an artist from age five. After meeting on the first day of art school in Sydney — it was love at first sight, depending on who you ask — the two became best friends. After graduation, they set about creating a tangible product people would want to buy. By the late 80s they were making jewellery for Kylie Minogue and INXS and opening a tiny shop in Sydney’s Strand Arcade. Dinosaur Designs, their jewellery and homewares business, is 40 years old next year. They have seven stores in Australia and one each in New York and London, with stockists globally.  They’re also both successful artists in their own right. Not to mention their daughter Camille. The trio are preparing a group show to be held in Paris later this year.  Listen in as Vince, Louise and Stephen discuss; being born into the art world, how they’ve made their marriage and business work and how children have a natural ability to get inside a subject when it comes to art.  https://www.dinosaurdesigns.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
