New graduate to inspire creativity in the next generation

UC Graduate Rebecca McLeod

Rebecca McLeod graduated from UC with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (major in Painting) and a Graduate Diploma in Secondary Education

Rebecca says she is looking forward to helping other artists explore art as a viable career option.

“I pursued a career in art because I love the world of possibilities you can create when you have a paintbrush in hand and inspiring the creativeness out of other young people. I want to be able to encourage others to pursue what they love and look at art as more than a hobby.”

Originally from Auckland, Rebecca chose to study at UC due to the structure of the Fine Arts programme.

“I liked the programme layout of being able to try out all the visual arts in your first year before choosing your major to focus on in the following years.
