Praiseworthy Pupil: Raven Snyder

For our next Praiseworthy Pupil, we have sophomore Raven Snyder, a self-taught aspiring artist! Raven loves creating art in many forms. She specializes in portraits, but also enjoys creating animations, landscapes, and more. In these. she employs a multitude of mediums, ranging from Procreate (digital art), colored pencils, oil pastels and charcoals to watercolors, acrylics and markers. 

Raven is also a member of the Abington Heights Choir, singing alto. Most of her inspiration in life comes from those around her. She admires her sister Jade and her art skills, her step sister Mia, who is a graphic designer, and her mom, who was a freelancing artist.  While she initially leaned towards painting and drawing realism, her love for anime and manga have changed her aspirations into becoming an animator! You can see some of Raven's work here and find out more about her works and inspirations by checking out her Instagram account @the_original_art_dragon.
