Hugh Crowley
Fitzroy North,VIC
Summary
I am a recent graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts majoring in sculpture. Over my time there I developed an interest in small scale metal work, focusing on centrifugal casting. My time at University helped to expand my modes of creative thinking, whilst also teaching me the importance of cultivating and engaging with community.
Since completing my degree I've spent time assisting a portrait sculptor in Florence and I am now seeking out further work in creative fabrication.
Working in administration, fundraising and events has allowed me to develop confidence in both myself and the broad array of skills I can offer to a business or workplace. This experience is dynamic and deadline oriented, these two factors mean I have developed an attentiveness and adaptability to strict and changing schedules and the specific requests of clients. I'm able to navigate and foresee obstacles with calm, yet eloquent communication skills.
