I am many things: a writer, a poet, a musician, a producer, an artist. I am also none of these things some of the time. My sense of self isn't very consistent and I sometimes lose passion for my creative projects. I'd like to use this website as a space to keep people updated on those projects, whether they're actively in progress or on the backburner for a while. In a way, this too is a creative project. And as you can tell, it's very much a work in progress.
I'd like to note that I write and make music under a number of different names and aliases, including but not limited to: Olive Bernhart, Olive Pile/olivepile, Elliott Graves, Aspen Marshall, a final valentine, NICOTINE RUSH, and P-Breezy. Some of these are semi-retired. This list is subject to change. I am subject to change.
Most of my released music and published writing can be found on Bandcamp, SoundCloud, and Chill Subs.
Some things I'm currently working on include: the 2nd a final valentine album, working title "not exactly this, but almost this"; the 2nd olivepile album, working title "see you soon!"; a collection of poetry, working title "we're going to tell stories better than you ever could: a guide to loving more than once"; and a novel, working title "Spirals".
I've also been a member of color bash collective since 2022!
I can be found on social media occasionally, most prominently Tumblr but also Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, and Mastodon.
