Meet Irista Reeves
Irista is a Heritage High School student who is taking art classes at Legacy High School. Her artwork recently made it into the Scholastic Art Show hosted at the Schack Art Center in Everett.
Below is Irista's artist statement:
"The earth around us speaks to me. It shows me beauty within the darkness. It shows me everything I know. I naturally gather ideas then piece them together. It appears in my head so fast like a snowball rolling down a mountain. Just getting bigger and becoming unstoppable. I try to capture everything I see, something that holds value. Certain individuals have a strong impression on me, and that in turn inspires me in my art. I want to display all the smiles and the people that make me happy."
Way to go, Irista, your work speaks to us and we are proud of you!
