THE WARREN-WATCHUNG CONNECTION PAGE 8 APRIL/MAY 2022 theconnectionsnj.com A sophomore at Watchung Hills Regional High School and an artist, Lillian Palmer stepped out of her usual comfort zone and chose “Foundations of Painting” as an elective this year. Even though high school has been quite challenging for her with both the pandemic and stress in general, by making art, she has found an outlet for her stress. She loves to make up characters or just draw anything that comes to her imagination. She usually creates digital art, alcohol marker pieces, or just enjoys sketching in her sketchbooks or on whatever is available when she has a vision. Although painting was different from her usual forms of media, she took a liking to the class and was able to improve on many skills that she struggled with in the past. Lillian has been drawing and creating art pieces since she could pick up a pencil, and has been very thankful to have programs that have led her to where she is now. In middle school, she won the superlative award for the “most artistic”, and has still continued to create and make art even throughout the troubles of the pandemic. With the help of her friends, family, and art teachers, Lillian has gained more confidence in her artwork over time, and wishes to make the people around her happy by creating artwork for them. She someday hopes to be able to pursue her art career even further, and attend college to follow this passion and dream. Be sure to read the inspiration behind the artwork in the Publisher’s Message on page 6.
