Celebrating a Proud Moment! 🎉🦁🎨
Huge congratulations to my incredibly talented 6-year-old student, Iyla Mandair, on being selected for the Longlist in the prestigious Sketch for Survival Junior international art competition by Explorers Against Extinction! 🌍🩵
Iyla’s beautiful snow leopard artwork has been recognised alongside entries from young artists around the world—a wonderful achievement at just 6 years old. Her creativity, observation, and passion for wildlife have truly shone through.
As an art teacher, moments like these remind me why I love nurturing young artists and encouraging them to use art as a voice for conservation and positive change.
I am so proud of you, Iyla! Wishing you the very best for the next stage of the competition. 💙🐆
