Submission 38: "Our Educational Leaders will Light the Way"

TITLE: "Our Educational Leaders will Light the Way"

ARTIST AGE: 18

MEDIUM: Mixed/Colored Pencil/Ink

ARTIST STATEMENT: My art depicts children exploring various careers, illuminated by the guidance of an educator and school board members, highlighting their role in supporting students of all backgrounds. I used colored pencils to represent the children vibrantly, set in a dark cave where they are led by torchlight, symbolizing the efforts of members. My sister who thrived within Alabama's educational system inspired my own journey in a health science pathway which has led me to want to become a gynecologist.
