Desiree, a two year National Art Honor Society member, is very proud of her efforts as a visual artist at Western Wayne High School. Currently she is working on her senior portfolio which she explains will feature a series of portraits.
“I enjoy painting,” she said. “People are my favorite subject to paint. I look for models for my pieces on Pinterest and sometimes I choose famous people to use.”
