I have just graduated from high school and am hoping to become an artist, though am very interested in secondary art teaching, art curating, art therapy and whatever else the world throws at me. I'm a part of the Museum of Contemporary Arts Youth Committee, and a Young Guide at the MCA. I was awarded commended in the Junior Hornsby Art Prize and have won first in the school this year. I was also just nominated for Art Express which I am very excited about. I hope that I am able to use art to address issues that I believe are important, with possible solutions and ways of psychologically handling them. I am very interested in Surrealism and the techniques they undergo in unlocking the subconsicous. I am also very interested in Abstract Expressionism. I hope to expand my artistic knowledge and skill and aim to develop skills in sculpturing, print media and graphic and technological art.
