Bro Fred's Portrait
Graphite and pastel, pencil on paper
Mathews (17, Dublin) says: "My portrait is of Brother Fred Rech who founded the school that I have just graduated from. He is a very special and inspirational person. He has enriched the lives of many students including myself. Through my drawing of him I wanted to capture the sense of his very gentle and wonderful character."
