Wellington Deaf Artist gets an overall winner prize of her painting ‘Haven’.

Fiona Langford, a student at The Learning Connexion painted this picture and she became the overall winner and received a grant of $500 which she says will go towards a printing screen. She is still a student at TLC and she also makes homemade paper, plastics, screen printing and paints on non-traditional items like full size doors. Fiona’s super realistic winning painting shows her a very talented artist.
