Kate is finishing her junior year at Chagrin Falls High School. She has taken art classes out of school since a young age, including lessons in landscape and portrait painting. Her freshman year of high school, she discovered her potential in art during her drawing class, inspiring her to sign up for Portfolio Prep during her sophomore year. Her junior year she proudly completed her AP 2D Studio Portfolio, with a concentration of "Synesthesia," where she studied the relationship between music and art. Throughout her 3 years of art classes, she has experimented with positive and negative space, painting, pastel, colored pencil, and charcoal. This led to a more graphic approach to her AP Concentration "Synesthesia." She quickly became fascinated by the concepts and geometric qualities of graphic pieces, only further immersing her into her artistic calling. Her art has been featured in all of the Chagrin Falls Art Shows and was recently submitted to the College Board as an AP Portfolio. In the future, she plans on taking classes in computer graphics and design and illustration, and eventually studying marketing and interior design in college.
