He enjoyed collaborating with others who were also passionate about the arts.
The biggest learning curb was entering an environment where there were fewer restrictions on his artistic practice, he said.
While he didn’t have any concrete plan for his career, he wanted to work in the arts.
Gallery deputy director Kirsten Paisley said the scholarship was a longstanding flagship program, which has been running for the past 21 years.
“The program is a reflection of the [gallery’s] commitment to sharing our passion for the arts with young Australians by broadening their understanding of the extraordinary careers available in the visual arts sector at a critical time in their studies,” she said.
Two students from each state were chosen to participate.

I recently returned from across the ditch where I worked at New Zealand Fairfax paper The Timaru Herald and developed a love of mountains. Originally I'm a mainlander from an area known for cheese, the Bega Valley, who also dabbled in radio at ABC RCAFF before finding a place in newspapers. I can often be found hiking, caving or climbing when I'm not cursing at my work computer or technology in general.
