Gianna Lawrence Linda

Linda has dedicated her life to the education of primary school students, and it is her compassion, commitment and genuine care for their wellbeing and development that inspired me to create this portrait of her. Through her thoughtful expression, I aimed to capture her joyful and calm nature which she brings to her classroom every day, often through the various musical instruments she plays. The portrait seeks to evoke feelings of nostalgia and warmth from viewers who have also experienced the ongoing positive effects of a teacher who has made a difference in their lives.
