Students' Work Chosen for Area-Wide Art Exhibit
The St. Louis Artists’ Guild has chosen work by four Principia Upper School students for this year's all-media Young Artists’ Showcase. Celebrating its 45th year, this juried exhibition receives submissions from high schools in a 150-mile radius of St. Louis. Acclaimed artist Margaret Keller is the juror for this year’s exhibit.
The artwork by Principia students submitted for consideration was chosen by Upper School Visual Arts Department Chair Caitlin Heimerl (US’06) and art teacher Kristin Martin (US’94, C’98). “When selecting artwork to enter each year, I look for work that shows strong technical skill as well as the student’s original voice and perspective,” Heimerl explains.
The pieces displayed in the exhibit, seen in the slideshow above, were created by these students:
- Senior Riley Small—ceramic sculpture
- Senior Isabel Wesman—acrylic painting
- Junior Katherine Peticolas—digital design
- Junior Philipp Roser—acrylic painting
The Young Artists’ Showcase opened on Thursday, March 7, and will run through the end of the month at the Guild’s gallery in Clayton.
