Anna Cochrane, a Year 13 art student, has been successful in her selection to a very special art exhibition in Wellington this week. She chose a painting from her Year 12 folio boards, and entered into the exhibition. Judges then go through the submissions from throughout NZ and choose only a few. Anna’s work was selected, she is then provided with the exhibition space, the work gets framed, and prints are taken to be sold. The artist, Anna, gets a large percentage of the sales. She has attended open night in Wellington with her family. We are so proud of Anna and her tremendous talent, and look forward to seeing her do well at art school in 2024 and beyond.
