SUCCESS IN IRELAND
WELLINGTON ART STUDENT
The following extract is from the "Irish Independent," of January 30, 1940. It concerns an exhibition of art work by students of the National College of Art, Dublin: —
"One young artist of whom more will be heard is Miss Elise Mourant, a Wellington girl, whose three studies of scenes in Jersey were bought within a few minutes of the opening of the exhibition. Her pictures have a youthful vigour together with a mature sense of colour and composition."
Miss Mourant is .the daughter of Mr. H. P. Mourant and was, up to a'short while ago, a student at the Wellington Technical College Art School. Here she received her first real training in drawing, painting, and design.
That, the training in the art school is sound is further proved by the choice of a design for a seal by the Wellington Provincial Patriotic Association who have lately accepted from a large number of submissions the design of Mervyn Reeves,, one of the school's third-year students.
