Art teacher Melissa Jones said she was proud of all of her students who had entered the competition.

“How fantastic for these budding artists to see their work in a beautifully curated exhibition at Bunbury Regional Art Gallery,” she said.

“COVID put the brakes on all regular exhibitions and competitions, so being able to enter student work to the South West Virtual Arts Spectacular was a real lift.”
