Three painted portraits of women.

Kogarah High School

Triptych of Three Teachers

Painting

Synthetic polymer on canvas

I have experienced school life in Korea, Japan and Australia. The portraits in my body of work are of my English, Art and Japanese teachers as they have had a huge impact on my new life and future. Each teacher's body language and facial expression is significant in representing the seriousness with which they take their responsibilities. The dark background and the lighting on each teacher's face amplify the respect and hope they have for their students. Each is accompanied by a symbol – an overhead projector, a cat and Marcel Duchamp's Bicycle Wheel – to represent their experience, methods and personality.

ARTEXPRESS was a joint partnership between The New South Wales Department of Education and NSW Education Standards Authority in association with Hazelhurst Arts Centre.

An artistic orange brushstroke design forms abstract shapes on a white background. Overlaid on the design is the word "artexpress" in a sleek, modern black font. The orange brush strokes appear dynamic and free-flowing, with splatters and tapered ends.Simplified waratah flower in deep red colour with the words NSW Government in dark blue stacked underneath.
