CORAL BAKER DIPLOMA OF VISUAL ARTS Artist Coral Baker said that a personal challenge led to discovering her artistic talent. I was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition, Cervical Dystonia, and decided to do a course at CAE to keep my spirits up. I found that doing smaller art courses at the CAE was something I could do physically, and this led to me deciding to do the Diploma of Visual Art over five years at Box Hill Institute, said Coral. While at the Institute, I learnt the difference between a good photo and a piece of artwork. I learnt how art can portray your mood, and that you can put your personality into a drawing or painting. But more importantly, it has shown me that I can operate in the world with a neurological problem, and that I can keep going. The course has transformed me from an adult trying to take my mind off living with a disability, into a functioning artist with loads of new skills at my disposal. I can now design and make a saleable product. I can produce something tangible and positive out of difficult circumstances. Coral is an Ambassador for the Port Phillip Housing Association which supports people in community housing through art exhibitions. She won the Fire Station Printmaking Award for her major portfolio, and has been accepted into the coveted Bachelor of Fine Arts at RMIT. Coral s artwork was exhibited at Bright Space in 2013, at the Museum of Art and Democracy in 2014, and at Gasworks in 2015. boxhill.edu.au Art, Design & Writing 2018 /7
