Over the past month Sydney has been enriched by the engaging and magical light sculptures that are part of Vivid Sydney: A Festival of Light, Music and Ideas.

Mary-Anne holds a Graduate Degree in Design Science in Illumination from our Faculty and a Masters in Music Composition from the Conservatorium of Music. Mary-Anne is also the recipient of the 2011 Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning Alumni Award for Community Achievement. Like all our Alumni Award winners, Mary-Anne has demonstrated the capacity to direct the knowledge she gained here into the broader public and professional arena. More
