Faces of New Hampshire Art
“My painting was inspired by Gustav Klimt, an artist I learned about at school, who used metallics and rectangles. It portrays my experiences of NH arts: ballet at Danse Papillon (ballerina/butterfly), acting with the Palace Youth Theatre (masks/marquee), art lessons at the Currier (Jan Gossaert), and drawing everywhere (young artist)!”

Dancing Ballerina
“This drawing is about myself as a ballerina. I picked this subject because I like ballet and I enjoyed taking ballet lessons at a dance studio in Concord. I loved performing on stage for my dad and getting my picture taken. But, my most favorite art form is drawing so that is why I made myself drawing the ballerina self-portrait. When I grow up, I’d like to be an artist!”

Under the Spot Light
“The curtain opens, people cheering, lights burning a blanket of flowers fill the stage. Twirling, twisting, swirling, soaring, yes as you can see I’m at the Capitol Center of the Arts in Concord for my dance routine. I chose to draw a picture of a ballerina in the Capitol Center of the Arts because I dance there too and that is one of my favorite arts.”

White’s Park
“My poster is about White’s Park. White’s Park is a wonderful place to go for a picnic. We play on the playground or go see the ducks on the pond. In the winter we go skating on the pond or sledding on the hill. White’s Park is a beautiful place for people to enjoy. It was made many years ago by a person called a landscape architect. White’s Park is a historic place. I love White’s Park.”

Favorite Place to See Art
"I like to go to this place to see art because I like to imagine stories in the clouds. When I’m imagining, I see animals, fairy tale creatures, and some people. A lot of times, when the sun is out, my sister comes out with me. We have a contest to see who can see the most animals in the sky. This is why I go outside to imagine art, it is really fun!”
