Olivia Jobbe is a visual artist living and working in Chicago, Illinois. Sculpturally and performatively, Jobbe creates an autobiographical body of works through a lens which is fixated on humor, a personal multiplicity of femininities, and radical vulnerability bred through compulsive truth telling. 

Jobbe is currently a BFA undergraduate at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is an awardee of the college’s Presidential Merit Scholarship. She has exhibited at the Riverside Art Center, Hawthorne Contemporary, Lubeznik Center for the Arts, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is the recipient of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s New Outstanding Artist Award, the Robert A. & Dorothy W. Rocke Scholarship, and a South Shore Arts Regional Arts Council Youth Arts Award.
