Sinead
Bunn

My name is Sinéad Bunn, I’m a ballet dancer at The Bayerisches Staatsballett where I have been diligently working as a corps de ballet dancer since 2011. Although I’m not completely finished with my dance career yet, I’m looking to expand my horizons and start studying. I have been a very keen hobbyist photographer for the past few years, which has inspired me to progress into taking a BA (Hons) Fine Arts degree with the OCA. It’s a distance learning fine arts course that explores both theory and practice in a way that will help me expand my knowledge and technical skills. I’ve always been fascinated by art and I would love to learn more about the variety of creative methods used by artists, and further develop my own method, and grow as a creative.

Last year I was busy working on a small photography portfolio. (of which I will attach with my application) I was lucky enough to be selected for a gallery exhibition at FotoNostrom in Barcelona, Spain and featured in the “A Woman With A Camera” exhibition in Berlin, Germany. Along with winning some prestigious titles and awards from The Guild Of Photographers, I have also had some of my images used for best selling novels, such as Megan Abbott’s ‘The Turnout’.

I am very passionate about art and I truly feel the world needs more of it, that said, I know would like to use my next career to share and evoke emotion within people all around the world through mediums of art.

I do believe that, with my positive mindset and great discipline, that I have mastered during my ballet career, I can use the funding from your organisation to advance my learning and prepare me for the future career that I dream of.

I hope you enjoy my small portfolio that I have attached.

Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing frOm you.
