Danielle Grant
We welcome Danielle to this year’s team. As a keen photographer herself, and a local community advocate (plus Deputy Chair of the Kaipatiki Local Board), Danielle loves seeing our community shine.
Her background in the arts comes from many years in the advertising industry. She notes that “the creative process is exciting, and the eye for capturing a moment as an image can create a strong emotional response from the viewer.”
Sharon Vickers
Sharon is another new judge we welcome to this year’s team. She is a visual artist whose keen interest in photography and film informs her painting practice.
She has exhibited her work regularly, especially at Northart Gallery, over the past 22 years and has received many awards for her work. http://sharonvickers.com/
