Genna Laban
b. 6 September, 1986.

I have just completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts  as of December 2009.  I majored in Photography, however I in my final year I worked with lazertran transfers of my own graphite drawings onto antique plates. The drawings were a result of my concern for animal cruelty and welfare issues.
I’m a vegetarian and a firm believer in equality towards animals.
Next year I hope to continue studying, although I will be moving on from Fine Arts to Animal Care, and then hopefully to Vet Nursing. I will always continue to make art, as I have from a young age. I suppose you could say every bone is my body is artistic, but my heart lies with helping animals. Darn those cute bastards
