Artist Statement: Hiya! I’m Xander! My online tag is Moldy Sprinkles (you can find me on YouTube), and I like to make art, animations, and comics of my silly little characters! This character right here is Kashvliek, and he’s my favorite little dog boy! Thank you and Goodnight!!

Jalen Guzman, 8th Grade, “Untitled Basket”, Sculpture

Penny Welbourn, 8th Grade, “Mountain Cabin”, Sculpture

Artist Statement: I pass this scene at Seahurst often and I wanted to evoke the relaxation of knowing a place well. Working with watercolors and pencil, I used spatial development techniques to build depth. Shadowing was a challenge, and I would start in the foreground next time.

Artist Statement: I see flowers, a pot and more flowers. I smell roses and touch a smooth cooling pot. I feel calm and kind because of the sight of colorful flowers. 

Artist Statement: “Key to the Garden” is my painting of a little girl reaching into a giant keyhole to get to a garden. The garden is a secret place for her to be peaceful and calm. 

Artist Statement: I see the mountain range, a lake and a sunset. I smell clean air and touch the soft grass. I feel liberated and joyous because it’s just me and the mountain, listening to music. 

Artist Statement: I was inspired by a deer. 

Artist Statement: I made this piece because I like cats and I intend to be a old cat( and horse) lady when I grow up. I don’t have a cat nor a horse, but I really love them. I am very appreciative to have been selected for this show, and I hope people like my piece! 🙂 😸😺 

Artist Statement: I made this art piece with acrylic paint, and some use of paint pens! I created this with the main intention of using a specific color palette, but to me, it was created without meaning, just a goal to make something I was proud of!

Artist Statement: I was trying to think of a good character to make and thought of this monster from the shadows. The fir is made of string, wrapped around most of the sculpture. Feathers taped to the wings because it can fly. 

Brianna Sorum, 8th Grade, “Porky”, Sculpture

Artist Statement: I inspired this sculpture by a painting my friend Amari made because I really liked it, and thought it would be cool to turn it into a sculpture.

Oskar Nelson, 8th Grade, “Lots of Teeth”, Sculpture

Artist Statement: He brushes every day and night, (he uses mint toothpaste.)

Artist Statement: I chose to do a Sea Turtle because ever since I was a little kid they have been my favorite animal.

Caroline Yao, 8th Grade, “Celia”, Sculpture

Artist Statement: Celia delivers messages from one universe to another. As someone with many interests, I think of her as a connection between the books, games and movies that I love.

Madeleine Pontz, 7th Grade, “Untitled”, Ceramic

Sean Corddry, 7th Grade, “Untitled”, Ceramic

Artist Statement: I chose to make this piece because it focuses on the shadows in my art, without being overly detailed. I am always looking to improve and since shadows is one area I’ve struggled in, this taught me a lot.

Artist Statement: For my project, I created a celebration of all of my favorite Mariners players because I was inspired by the team’s historic 2025 season. I like to draw and I love baseball, so I decided to combine them to make this art piece.

Artist Statement: This piece represents the two sides of my life. The Scholar, which shows the educational and perfected side, and the Fool, which shows the less perfect and more realistic side.

Artist Statement: This is presenting myself and my journey to become who I am. 

Artist Statement: I originally created this piece without color, as a coloring page for younger students at my school. Our class made a “Disability Justice Coloring Book” and this was my page. Since then I have added my own color to complete the image.
