Fast forward 18 months to today, Tilly is now a finalist in the prestigious Young Archie competition, a junior version of Australia’s renowned Archibald Prize. Her entry, a beautiful portrait of her late grandfather, Peter Carson, a landscape painter from New Zealand, stands out among over 4000 submissions from young artists across the country.

Katherine recently shared her joy on Facebook: “There were over 4000 entries from budding young artists this year! Tilly is already a winner, no matter what the final outcome is. Most importantly, this kiddo twinkles and sparkles when she’s creative. Following her true passion is the win!”

It has been an absolute honor to be part of Katherine’s journey and to see Tilly’s incredible growth. Their story is a powerful reminder that when parents receive the right support, ‘Helpful Help’, they truly can make a profound difference in their children’s lives.

By upgrading her skills, Katherine has empowered Tilly to transform her anxiety into a source of strength and creativity.

As they prepare to head to Sydney for the award ceremony, I couldn’t be prouder of Katherine’s unwavering willingness to learn and implement the things we teach. Katherine is an exemplary parent that has demonstrated that we the parents are the key to unlocking our children’s full potential. Tilly’s journey from anxiety to revealing her artistic achievement is a testament to the power of this.
