"Kitchen at Sunset"
Artist: Natalie Clark
Size: 0” x 0”
Medium: Digital drawing
Artist Statement: I was introduced to digital art when I was in middle school, while I have only just started to become comfortable with graphite and printmaking this year. No matter the medium, I like to play with layering of both processes and ideas throughout all of my artwork—shown by the layering of prints and embroidery in my traditional works, and the combination of layer opacity and overlay settings when working digitally. It’s interesting to see how different materials can work together, as well as the amount of experimentation that digital media allows for.
Artist Bio: Natalie is a junior at Metuchen High School. She has been drawing her whole life, and hopes to pursue a career in the arts. Outside of art, she loves to listen to music, play field hockey, read, and spend time with friends and family.

"Death, Color and Taxes"
Artist: Val Zamora
Size: 20” x 16”
Medium: Acrylic, pouring medium, and oil pastel on canvas
Artist Statement: I genuinely enjoy the use of color so much that it plays a large and integral part in my life. So when I was assigned to begin my series, the only option I wanted to do was an investigation on the relationship between humans and color, and how certain colors can accurately and correctly portray human emotion and self expression. I experimented with dynamic facial movements and unique situations along with bright and purposely eye catching colors so that they could help give meaning to the piece. As I worked throughout this series I noticed many patterns and I also noticed the constant theme of self awareness.

"Eyes of the Forest"
