Kermit Oliver

Kermit Oliver is famously known as the sole American artist to design scarves for Hermes. A renowned painter, he's taught university classes in Houston, had his work in the opening exhibit of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, won a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Houston Art League, and sorted mail for the Waco post office. A seemingly odd juxtaposition, the postal job allowed him to maintain a steady income while granting him time to paint. ​

Oliver's work is incredibly detailed and realistic, most often focusing on Texas and southwest Native American life. He's also designed work celebrating Native Americans in Canada and the Pacific Northwest. The Marcus family (of Neiman Marcus renown) were friends with the Dumas family (of Hermes renown), and when asked by the Dumases for an American artist to commission, the Marcuses recommended Mr. Oliver. The first Kermit Oliver design, Pani la Shar Pawnee, came out in 1984; his most recent, La Vie au Sauvage, came out in 2014.
