Olivia Womack Photography proudly celebrates the five-year anniversary of "An Intimate Art Experience," a groundbreaking collaboration with internationally acclaimed collage artist Derek Gores that transforms intimate boudoir portraits into personalized fine art masterpieces. Since its launch in 2020, this innovative partnership has empowered women across Florida and beyond to celebrate their unique beauty through a fusion of photography and collage artistry.
The collaboration pairs Olivia Womack's 25 years of expertise in fine art boudoir photography with Derek Gores' internationally recognized collage technique, creating one-of-a-kind artworks that capture both the physical beauty and personal narrative of each client. Gores, whose prestigious client list includes Prada, Adidas, the National Football League, and Disney, incorporates deeply personal elements into each collage—from favorite song lyrics and vacation destinations to meaningful recipes and literary references—transforming Womack's elegant portraits into layered storytelling pieces.
"Every woman deserves to love herself deeply and to see herself as a work of art," said Olivia Womack, award-winning boudoir photographer and published author of "Essence of Women: Boudoir Portraits and Stories." "This collaboration with Derek has allowed us to create something truly unique—portraits that don't just capture a moment, but tell a complete story of who a woman is at her core."
Derek Gores, a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and a fixture in the Eau Gallie Arts District, brings his signature technique of recycling magazines, maps, and found materials to create intricate collage portraits. Named one of the "40 Important Artists of the New Contemporary Movement" and featured in exhibitions from Los Angeles to Paris, Gores has elevated the collaboration to fine art status while maintaining the intimate, empowering essence of Womack's photographic work.
The five-year milestone represents hundreds of women who have experienced this transformative journey. Clients range from milestone birthday celebrations to personal healing journeys, with women traveling from New York, Arizona, and across Florida to participate in this exclusive art experience. Each session begins with Womack's luxury portrait experience—including professional hair and makeup, personalized wardrobe consultation, and an intimate photography session—followed by Gores' custom collage creation that weaves the client's personal story into the final artwork.
"While the thought of turning older had never fazed me before, turning the big 4-0 was somehow different," shared Christine from Miami, one of the collaboration's early clients. "Instead of letting it slow me down or get me down, I took it as an opportunity to work hard at becoming the healthiest, fittest, all around best version of myself possible. This is the perfect time for me to work with Olivia and Derek to document this time in my life."
The partnership exemplifies the thriving creative community of Florida's Space Coast, where both artists have established themselves as cultural leaders. Womack operates her studio at 1175 N. Courtenay Parkway in Merritt Island, while Gores maintains his gallery and studio in the nearby Eau Gallie Arts District in Melbourne. Both artists share a commitment to empowering individuals through art and celebrating the unique stories that define each person's journey.
As "An Intimate Art Experience" enters its sixth year, both Womack and Gores continue to accept a limited number of commissions for this exclusive offering. The collaboration has been featured in Space Coast Living magazine and continues to attract women seeking a meaningful way to document their personal milestones and celebrate their authentic selves through fine art.
