US opportunity for scholar
• By Julia Evans
FROM ACTOR James
Franco to Family Guy
creator Seth MacFarlane,
the Rhode Island School of
Design has produced some
artistic greats.
And one day
Aidanfield resident Amy
Huang, will be on the list
of alumni.
The 19-year-old has
flown to the United States
to take up a place in the
fine arts programme,
based in Providence.
Ms Huang will be able
to cross-register her classes
against the same offered
at the Ivy League Brown
University.
And the Rhode Island
school wasn’t her only option
in the states.
Ms Huang was also accepted
into Pittsburgh’s
Carnegie Mellon University,
which Andy Warhol
attended, and she made the
waiting list for Harvard
University.
“The Rhode Island
School of Design is well
known and respected for
its arts faculty, in fact it is
probably the most prestigious
university in that area

of study, so I am thrilled,”
she said.
But Ms Huang is fully
aware it’s not going to
be an easy ride – she’s
ready to work hard at
something she is passionate
about.
“I look at this as an investment
into my future,”
she said.
Ms Huang was the
dux of Rangi Ruru Girl’s
School in 2016.
She plans on studying in
the US for four or five years
before she graduates with a
Bachelor of Fine Arts.
Clare reilly - DanCe of life
In Clare Reilly’s new exhibition, ‘Dance of Life’ she expresses the resilience and tenacity to keep finding
joy and beauty in the natural surroundings. Especially in the hard times, when confronted by the big
challenges in life, that we must all pass through at some stage.
There are events, such as the death of a loved one, that can turn our lives upside down. Finding strength
in nature can help us to stay connected and grounded and bring a sense of being part of the dance of life.
These paintings are meditations on the quiet moments, where we can
step away from everyday stress and become fully present and find a
sense of peace.
They are an invitation to breathe in the moment and dance with life.
