Hello, My name is Olivia and I am coming to Ethiopia in a little more than a month. I am a full-time artist in the States (although I am currently residing and painting in Malawi). I have tried to contact the School of Fine Art and Design at Addis University but no one responds to the e-mails and no one answers the phones. I am interested in checking out their program, meeting with students and faculty in the painting department. I would love to meet with people (Expats) who are also involved in the arts or with the University.
If you can advise me or are interested in the arts I would love to hear from you!
My website, if you want to check out my paintings is

Graciously,
Olivia
