**SOLD -** Kevin Liu - *Nocturne* - $100 **- SOLD**
“Nocturne: a musical composition that is inspired by, or evocative of, the night. One that sings not of sunlight, butterflies and other diurnal beauties, but of mystery, moonlight, and moths.
A soft song only seen once your eyes have adjusted to the dark.“

Lauren Curwick, MD

I’m Lauren, a recent Alabama transplant pursuing my dream of becoming a surgeon. I have always loved all things creative, but I found my true passion in painting more recently. Abstract painting allows me to stray from the perfectionism I strive for in medicine and to to find balance through my acrylics. My work is inspired by simplicity and earth tones.

Paola Narvaez

My name is Paola Narvaez and I am a sophomore at Tarrant High School. I am sixteen years old. I am interested in art and have tried several different mediums. I draw, paint and do small clay sculptures. My favorite is digital art. I like to draw animals and I’m most interested in the animals that are unique, sort of the underdogs of the animal kingdom. I also have created several characters of my own that I use in my artwork. I have thought that I might pursue illustration as a career path.

Samanta Sanchez Perez - *Kaminari* - $50

Samantha Sanchez Perez

My name is Samantha Sanchez Perez and I am a freshman at Tarrant High School. I am fifteen years old and I love drawing. My favorite things to draw are anime characters. On a recent trip to Mexico to visit my grandmother I started drawing random people that I encountered on my trip...people in the airport, in the market, etc. I am currently working on a portfolio of different drawings because I want to audition for the Alabama School of Fine Arts for the upcoming school year. I usually use graphite and Copic markers but I plan to expand my use of different materials during the year to become more familiar with different mediums for my artwork.
