I recognise the outstanding achievement of Eva Grantham, a recent graduate of Northern Beaches Secondary College Cromer Campus. Eva's artwork UNLOVED has been selected for ARTEXPRESS 2026, an exhibition showcasing outstanding artworks produced by HSC visual arts students across New South Wales. Her work is currently being exhibited at the Western Plains Cultural Centre in Dubbo until 4 October. Eva's achievement is particularly impressive given that she achieved a band 6 in visual arts in her HSC in 2025, placing her among the highest achieving visual arts students not only at Cromer Campus but also across New South Wales that year—amazing! ARTEXPRESS provides a wonderful opportunity for students to have their creativity and ideas recognised beyond the classroom, and Eva should be immensely proud to have her work selected. I wish Eva every success for the future and look forward to seeing where her art endeavours take her. I cannot wait to go to Dubbo to have a look for myself.
