Olivia Baux (born 2003, Nebraska) is a senior at Christopher Newport University Virginia, studying art with a concentration in 2D and 3D media, with an art historywriting minor and an interest in creative narratives. She expects to graduate in Spring 2027. Encouraged by her family from a young age, she has always viewed the world as magical and inspiring–a perspective that shaped her early storybook creations and later earned her recognition for colored pencil work in Woodside High School’s art magnet program. Today, she continues her education with passion and discipline, serving as a research apprentice for her art professor. Her work draws from personal experiences and interests, including music, literature, nature, and critical thinking.
