Visual Artist Olivia Muscat is currently in her final year at Loughborough University studying a BA (Hons) in Fine Art. Between 2013-2014, Olivia also took three accredited online short courses with Oxford University in related art history subjects. Olivia’s recent exhibitions and publications include, the Gallery Student Art Awards 2014, held at CCA International Galleries (Jersey), and a selection of work published in Jungle Magazine: Issue 4 (UK).
