Emily Brown

“My freshman year was cut short due to Covid-19 which served as both a blessing and a curse. While the isolation of it was difficult it freed up time for creativity and experimentation in art. I experimented with playing new musical instruments as well as new art mediums, most notably digital are and jewelry making. The biggest takeaway that I have from this is that if I didn’t have people around me encouraging my artistic journey, I wouldn’t have the same level of enthusiasm for that that I do today. A lot of my passion stems from my community. I am surrounded by artists showcasing their work in small shops and restaurants. Walking through parks I stop to admire the unique and intricate sculptures incorporated into the scenery. My passion for the arts truly stems for this encouragement. Emily is a student at South Fork High School.
