Welcome! My name is Mary Verkuilen and I am currently a Senior at Ronald Reagan High School. Art has always been an important part of my life, something that I have done as early as I can remember. I enjoy experimenting with a variety of mediums, though my personal favorite have been illustration and painting based projects. I often use my art as a form of self-expression which I plan on conveying in the majority of my pieces. In general, I value art as the best way to exhibit attributes about myself I would normally have trouble conveying verbally or in a written format.
During my two years as an IB art student, I plan on relating most my work to identity by using images representative of events that have shaped me as a person and have had a substantial impact on my character. I enjoy making pieces that are expressive of issues passionate to me and convey my emotions towards the subject. However, I'd also like to experiment with other themes to expand on my creative capabilities. |
