SPECIAL THANKS
The Photographic Studies College 2020 Art Major and Commercial Students would
like to extend our sincerest thanks to the following people, whose contributions and
assistance have made Fresh2020, Global Pandemic Edition, possible in an incredibly
challenging year.
First and foremost, praise and thanks to Sarina Lirosi, Photography Studies College Art
Major Lecturer. Sarina, you have not only been our teacher and our mentor but also our
guide and friend throughout this year. Your unwavering encouragement and motivation
have provided the Art Major Students with invaluable guidance and support. You have
inspired us to be courageous in our art exploration and to seek new avenues through
which to express our individual creativity. Every road has its bumps and pitfalls, and
2020 has thrown many in our path. Your dedication, commitment, compassion, and
confidence in us and our abilities have provided the emotional fortitude to forge through
this year and emerge as artists.
We are grateful for the support and assistance from all the Photography Studies College
teaching staff, administration team, and support group, who, during our journey, have
willingly shared knowledge, wisdom, time, and kindness.
We are appreciative of our families, friends, and mentors. This has been an incredibly
difficult year in which to produce art freely, and you have all been so patient with “our
home studio’s” our inability to (sometimes) let go, and our frustration in having limited
access to inspiration outside of the home. You have shown us great calm in the face of
adversity and have been generous with your time and support. Without you, we could
not have realised our own creative potential and produce the work with soothes our
creative souls.
Finally, to the Fresh2020 students. What a year we have faced! Together we have
laughed, planned, dreamed, discussed, appraised, encouraged, accomplished, created,
and zoomed, zoomed, zoomed. Although it would have been more rewarding to do all
of the above in person, we are an incredible group of creative artists with such unique
talents. It has been a joy to work alongside each and every one of you. Best wishes in
the future; don’t be afraid to move forward, your futures are bright!
