Huge congratulations to Xiaoxian Gao (10HSC) for being selected to exhibit her artwork in the Younite x Lake House Rangatahi Art Exhibition 2025. The exhibition opened on 5 July at Lake House Arts in Takapuna, and her work was selected to be displayed alongside other pieces from young artists across Auckland.
“Seeing my artwork displayed in a real exhibition felt surreal. I was nervous at first, but watching people stop to look at my work made me feel proud. Sharing my ideas through art showed me that it’s not just about technique, but about connection. This experience gave me more confidence and made me excited to keep creating.” Xiaoxian Gao
