Student Contributions

From time to time this site will feature the creative work of a high school student. Our first featured student is Nabeel Shaikh.

Nabeel is a high school sophomore attending Sonoran Academy in Tuscon, AZ. He is aspiring to become a doctor. Nabeel first became interested in art as a freshman when he took art class and became familiar with many artists and techniques. His teacher encouraged him to try new things and develop his own style. His work is loose and abstract. Some of his pieces have symbolic meaning behind them. He hopes to continue with art as a hobby and continue creating some amazing artwork.
