About the Artists Abigail Vanderberg I’m not really sure how I see myself as an artist or an author. When I write I am just myself. I try to find myself in my writing. When you find out you have uncommon experiences, you tend to share them. Sharing parts of my being makes me passionate about writing.
Adam Brouwer I see myself as a pretty down to earth person, I write about what I see and think about as an artist as a result. I play guitar and write music regularly, I had an active love life before covid which inspired this poem in particular. I think we can relate to missing someone and not having them in our lives anymore. My passion comes from somewhere inside that I can’t really place. Whether it’s music or poetry, writing or even exercise I have this mental drive they tells me I can do more and I can work harder.
Alexis Jenkins How I see myself as an artist would be painting shapes and using colorful colors to make it abstract. By me painting it helps me through the tough times I am going through. Something that made me want to paint was seeing others do it and me wanting to try it. I tried it and ended up loving it. It is a very fun activity to get into and it helps with anxiety and other things.
Ella Harlow I see myself as someone who loves writing poetry. I just write what I think and make changes later. I often write about social issues and problems in our society. Social issues are what I generally write about. I’m very passionate about writing and presenting them in different forms than just papers.
Evan Wahmhoff Honestly, I don’t see myself as some special art guru or “quirky art guy”, I feel like I’m just some average guy who happens to write poetry. My art is nothing special, there are thousands of kids doing the same thing, but I’m glad to be able to share mine with you all. My writing has been a fairly therapeutic thing for me, and has been a way for me to express my thoughts and feelings.
Hailey Christopher I always see myself through the eyes of my lens as an artist for photography. I only take what I see that’s made for capturing. I’ve always been told I had an eye for capturing beauty in its moments. When I see the sunset I see nature giving its last yawn before it falls asleep. But maybe to others it’s just another regular sunset. As they always say... beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
