Iona Presentation College student’s art displayed at Lightscape

Iona Presentation College student, Emma Zappara is amongst the local and regional school students whose art is being showcased at this year’s Lightscape, which runs from 13 June to 27 July in Kings Park.

The event features over 20 works by international and local artists which delve into the world of natural attraction.

Emma’s work was one of 88 submissions chosen from a competition for WA school students, hosted by Kings Park to submit their best drawn pollinator as part of the Lantern Luminance installation.

Emma said:

“I have attempted to add depth and shadows in shades of blues, yellows and pinks surrounded by a range of Australia’s native flowers and plants including kangaroo paws, bottle brush, waratah and lilac hibiscus to bring it to life.

“I find it a great achievement for my art and think it’s a great opportunity to see my art illuminated in a public space at such a highly attended event, rather than simply sitting in a sketch book.

“I’m really excited to show my friends, family and my art teacher Mrs Corbett (from Iona Presentation College). They have all encouraged and inspired me so much to continue with my art, so I’m excited to show them all where my art has finally ended up after all their support.”

Lisa Corbett, Practical Arts Teacher said:

“At Iona Presentation College, we love to provide our students with meaningful opportunities to express their creativity and share their talents with the broader community. Events like Lightscape not only celebrate artistic excellence but also allow the remarkable work of our girls to be appreciated by thousands.”
