Meet Elizabeth, a Shikellamy Middle School student who was nominated by her teacher, PAEA member, Christina Landau.

Ms. Landau said of her student, "Elizabeth is a very hard working and creative student. She goes above and beyond what is asked of her in art and in life. She is a kind, caring, and wonderful person. She is helpful to her classmates and is an inspiration for them to push themselves in the classroom. Her art speaks for all walks of life and she is never afraid to learn something new. She enjoys various media, especially markers and colored pencils.

Elizabeth said of her art, "My inspiration and influences are from a variety of different places. Part of it comes from popular artists on social media such as @maad-art on Instagram and @hope.hokulani on Tik Tok. They influence me and inspire me because I like their art styles. Seeing other artists do their art inspires me to continue on my art journey. I still have a lot to learn and these artists really help me to keep going.
