Maia Gourneau
Maia Gourneau, a freshman at David Douglas High School, draws inspiration from the worlds she discovers in stories and art. Her love for reading and writing opened the door to journalism, thanks to a former ELA teacher who recognized her spark. When she is not sketching or painting, Maia can be found exploring hidden corners of the city, marveling at bursts of graffiti color, and soaking up the quiet magic of forgotten places. She dreams of inspiring others as an art teacher or channeling her creativity into a tattoo parlor of her own. At home, she cherishes time with her two little brothers and her mother.
