“I have a passion for art and have been drawing for ten years, however I wanted to broaden my knowledge and learn new skills. Drawing is also a solemn activity, so I wanted to be around like-minded people for inspiration. The Gordon was the first place I considered as it has a good reputation and a long history of successful students.
I learnt more about the art world during my year of study, than I have in the past ten years I have been teaching myself. The teachers are wonderful, knowledgeable and understanding. The studios are spacious and have a wide variety of equipment for the different topics the course covered.
I have since been commissioned by Headspace to produce artwork for their new office in Geelong, and so far have produced six pieces. It was my first paid work in this field and has been an amazing opportunity to get my work out there. In the future, I would love to get a degree in visual arts and become a self-managed artist with the skills to produce product and run my own business.”
