LIZZIE MACLEAN
Lizzie is studying A Levels in Psychology, Sociology and Religious Studies, and hopes to gain a place at St Andrews to read Philosophy - just like Dan Hemingway, in whose name the prize was created. The drawing is also of a piano, which he loved to play.
Judge Sue Hemingway said: “The standard of artistic talent at Cherwell is outstanding, but Lizzie’s piece was exceptional. What is particularly rewarding about her winning is that she has come from outside the formal artistic side of Cherwell."
"There is a perception that, as judges, we are somehow steered towards artists, musicians or creative writers who are studying those things or are well known to the staff. That isn’t the case, and it is fantastic to be able to recognise somebody who creates for pleasure and joy.”
