Celebrating Francesca

2022 Art and Design portfolio leader Francesca Harrison is already making her mark.

As our Class of 2022 prepares to sit their HSC examinations, we congratulate Francesca on her achievements for others, as well as her own early career successes.

“Not only is Francesca very dedicated in role as Art and Design portfolio leader,” said IGS Director of Art and Design Drew Bickford. “She has enjoyed great success in the community as an emerging artist.

“For the past two years she has been a finalist in The Mosman Youth Art Prize, with her sculpture and photography works selected for exhibition.

A metallic, abstract carrot sculpture with twisted, wiry roots stands on a round, brown wooden base labelled “MEMENTO MORI.” Loose metallic roots rest on the base. The artwork honours Francesca, its plain white background adding a quiet celebration.

“Francesca maintains an active private practice, regularly engaging in external courses to further develop her artmaking skills.”

A floral settee sits on a rug in the grass, flanked by tables with a lamp, books, and flowers. Trees and a brick building with lit windows create an outdoor sitting room effect, perfect for celebrating Francesca.

We wish all of our Class of 2022 students the very best as they take their skills and talents into the world.
