Freshman Mara Kugler describes her first experience at the Fine Arts Showcase.

“I enjoyed seeing everyone’s different art styles and passions!” Kugler said. “I was moved by the art piece done about gun awareness.”

Kugler, a student in fine arts teacher Kelly Pack-Scott’s Drawing I, had her art on display as well.

“I was happy to have my art displayed and appreciated, and it made me want to be able to have my own art showcase one day,” Kugler said.

Seniors had their portfolios displayed in Windmoor, and the artwork inspired Kugler to grow as an artist.

“Seeing the seniors’ art was a real inspiration, and I can’t wait to be able to improve and have my work displayed there when I’m a senior!” Kugler said.
