Lawyer Side Hustles


Liv’s side hustles as a galleried abstract artist and author
exemplify how lawyers can pursue creative passions while
maintaining their professional careers. Her art, which is deeply
personal and therapeutic, allows her to express emotions and
explore themes of connection and isolation. Liv’s paintings are
not only exhibited in galleries but also featured prominently in
her projects, such as the cover of her book, Painting the
Landscape of Loneliness.
“I love abstract artwork... I love the process of painting
because it’s incredibly therapeutic” shares Olivia Ash in Episode
177 of You Are a Lawyer.

In addition to her artistic endeavors, Liv is a published author
whose book explores the epidemic of loneliness and provides
strategies for building meaningful connections. She draws from
her personal experiences, research, and professional expertise to
offer readers a roadmap to self-discovery and healing. Through
her side hustles, Liv proves that lawyers can use their skills
and passions to create meaningful work that extends far beyond
the legal field.
