Aidan Walbaekken, a distance learning student and Oriel Hoskin Scholarship winner, through his art, raised funds for those affected by the Kaikoura earthquake. He has also been working on a series of large kiwiana murals and billboards.

Morrigan Smith’s art making last year was a reflection of himself, a fusion of the male and female. He sought to find his own personal power and inner truth through art making.
