•  I have entered work into Canterbury's annual art auction every year I had attended the school. From grades 9 to 12, I put the most work into this auction every year, and sold for the most money 3 out of the 4 years, excluding grade 9. In the art auction of my senior year I had painted live in the event hall and sold for over $ 1200. (2004 - 2008)
