Artist: Kelsey Beckett, Age 17
I attended a exhibition at CCS in Downtown Detroit last Thursday. All works shown were submitted from local highschool students. We were a bit crunched for time, so I didn't take as many photos as I would've liked. Above are two pieces by Kyle Dunn and Kelsey Beckett, both only 17 years old! Are they fabulous or what? There were many more talented artists represented, these just really stood out to me because they each seemed to have developed their own style. Kyle must have had at least a dozen pieces in the show. Each blew me away. I think alot of the students pieces looked like the results of taught refined techniques (not that there's anything wrong with that)...and these two appeared to be marching to the beat of their own drum, which I always like. Sadly, I couldn't find a website for either one of these talents. Afterwards, we headed into Greektown for a quick dinner complete with flaming cheese! :)

That Kyle's a master of observation! I especially love the luminous eyes.
By the way, you've now been tagged!
