F
rom a young
age, I always
enjoyed
doing artsy things,
but took a genuine
interest in it when
I started school at
St Peter’s College
in Palmerston
North. My passion
for art began in
Year 9. It was a
huge change for
me as I come from a small town
called Pahiatua. Travelling by car
and bus for 40 mins each way
every day can be draining but I
couldn’t be happier that I chose
to come to this college as it has
provided me with many amazing
opportunities.
An interest for Visual Arts
kicked in when I started in Year
11 (2014) as I began to progress
into the digital arts such as
Computer Graphic Design. I
really enjoyed being creative
with typography and designing
logos, but always found that the
end of year was a bit of a struggle
as I preffered making personal
artwork, opposed to working for
an imaginary client.
2016 has really been my time
of great success as I had a go at
experimenting with Photography
for a change, and successfully
gained two Excellence Grades for
my first two projects. It has been
such an awesome journey over
the past five years, especially
with my best friend Daniella
James who was also my model
for my photography projects.

Dani and I both encourage each
other constantly and these are the
moments I’ll cherish forever. I have
thoroughly enjoyed Photography
this year and can’t thank enough,
our wonderful art teacher Jane
Moss for all of her inspiration and
encouragement throughout my last
year. Photography will definitely be
a personal hobby of mine and I will
take this with me on my journey
as I prepare to leave school for a
career in travel and tourism.Isabella Stephens and Daniella James.
