Trained at Goldsmith and The Royal College of Art. In her animal work she manages to capture that fleeting essence of movement which transcends mere accuracy, a rare accomplishment. Olive often uses mythology as subject matter for her work involving the human form. She finds the demands of expressing emotion relevant to the human condition both challenging and exciting.
