Title: The Need for Speed
Artist: Alicia G.
Age: 14
Grade: 9th
School: Arthur Poly Mays Conservatory of the Arts
Art teacher: Gerald Obregon
Artist Statement: Inspiration for this piece was based on my affinity for stairs. Whenever my parents would drive past a house with multiple stories, I would exclaim "I like that house!" The main reason is due to my neighborhood all being one story houses.
