"The girl is black because when I had cancer and my hair was falling out, I was beautiful in my personality. A pretty girl with a rotten heart isn't beautiful. Only a kind friendly person has real beauty."

3rd- 5th Visual Arts
Medium: pencil on paper

Artist Statement:
" I drew different kinds of optical illusions. To me, an optical illusion represents at least two ways of seeing things, and thinking about them. Sometimes, you look at them one way, and somebody else sees them another way. And sometimes you see one thing, then look closer and see it another way. It's the same thing when you look inside yourself; you take things one way, then, over time, you take them another way. Also, even close friends and relatives look at the same situation in their lives from completely different points of view."

Middle school photography.

Artist Statement:
"The photograph " Peace and Quiet" which is the name I chose for the shot, is designed to look like someone that is looking within while meditating on a dock. That person is gently swaying to the beat of the ocean, while her hair flutters in the salty breeze. I look within when I'm alone listening to the sound of nature."
