In my portrait, I have chosen to depict my school headmistress, Ms Jenny Allum. Although she is not someone I speak to every day, she is a huge influence in my life. Ms Allum has provided me with many opportunities at SCEGGS Darlinghurst, which have greatly impacted who I am. The school art program gave me the motivation to start taking art seriously.
