Vogue Australia spoke with NAS alumna Eliza Gosse about her switch from a degree architecture to pursue her true passion: painting.

‘… the way that National Art School is laid out is you’re there five days a week, and you try out every single different studio. So you’re doing sculpture, printmaking, photography, painting, and you’re in a small cohort of 20 kids. And that class moves from medium to medium and so socially, it was amazing.’ – Eliza Gosse
