||| FROM B.J. ARNOLD for ORCAS ISLAND ARTWORKS |||
During the month of May, The Orcas Island Artworks is privileged to feature Myla Ross, an 18-year-old student of Spring Street International School who lives on Orcas.
On display will be WATER GARDEN, Myla’s first endeavor with oil painting, a stunning and impressive piece of art.
“My entire world revolves around art. I cannot think of a memory I have predating my love of it. Art is what keeps me humble, what keeps me guessing and tying, what exercises my humanity. But my love of art did not grow overnight. In the 18 years that I’ve lived on Orcas, my desire to create has been met with encouragement from my family, my friends and my teachers, always pushing me to explore new mediums and techniques. (Although oil and charcoal will always be my favorite) I am so grateful to my community for the support and encouragement that I have received. I know that this is the reason I have taken my art as far as I have and the reason that I will be attending Tufts University this fall to pursue a degree in Fine Arts. I am so excited to be heading off into an even bigger art world, and I look forward to sharing all my future creation with the island community that inspired it. – Myla Ross
Orcas Island Artworks is pleased to launch this promising young artist.
