    "I was never one to win prizes or come top of the class at school, so being awarded the NGV prize never even crossed my mind as a potential outcome for my studies, and it was a wonderful surprise to receive. Studying Art History at the University of Melbourne has been such a wonderful and affirming experience. I have been able to fully delve into my love of art, and having lectures by such knowledgeable, and diverse scholars has opened my eyes to the future potentials that exist within the arts. Although I am not quite yet sure what I will do with the prize, it has provided me with the confidence to focus on my thesis with ever greater certainty of my abilities. What at first seemed to be an immense task, now seems to be another exciting opportunity. I am incredibly grateful for the prize, and I know I will remember the National Gallery of Victoria’s generosity for years to come."
