Hayley Fletcher\u2019s passion for the arts has been rewarded with a prestigious Curtin University of Technology scholarship.<\/p>\n
The Albany resident, who will study fine arts at Curtin, has been awarded the Hazel Hawke Scholarship.<\/p>\n
Ms Fletcher said she was honoured to receive the scholarship and looked forward to becoming a professional artist.<\/p>\n
“I have always been interested in art. I can remember when I was about four, I had been to playgroup and I had a huge drawing that I couldn\u2019t wait to show my mum. I was so proud of it – nothing has changed,” she said.<\/p>\n
“I hope to push my work to a new level at Curtin by honing my concepts and practical art skills.”<\/p>\n
Prior to enrolling at Curtin, Ms Fletcher studied visual art and craft at TAFE in Albany and has always been actively involved in the local art scene.<\/p>\n
“I have exhibited in many group art exhibitions and contributed to community projects,” she said.<\/p>\n
“I am particularly passionate about raising awareness of issues related to family, youth and the environment and conveying this message through art.<\/p>\n
“I aim to finish my art degree and gain a teaching qualification so that I can travel Australia and other countries and share in the exchange of cultural ideas and experience through art.”<\/p>\n
The annual Hazel Hawke scholarship is for female mature age students who demonstrate a commitment to community and social issues. It covers student fees each year plus a $2,000 cash payment per annum to assist with other expenses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
