Marlene “BEA” Peters
“I’m not the most conventionally artistic person. I doodle, paint and create things through writing. But I do like to express myself where my strengths lie like graffiti art, making zines, and poems, taking photos, and writing. I never really had faith in myself because I’m not a standard artist, I created in different ways than my friends did and felt less than others. Soon I discovered that almost all my hobbies were art forms and there were entire mini communities surrounding some of my favorite interests!”
Aurorah Spencer,
U.H.S. senior
My name is Aurorah Spencer, and my preliminary sketches are one of the many forms of art I create. I’ve been making many different art mediums ever since I was young. Since I was little, I always wrote poems, sketched, drawn, painted, and sang to express my inner emotions. I’ve always allowed my art to be a medium of more profound subconscious ideals constantly seen throughout society. Art has always guided me through learning about myself and many other things. Through these portraits and poems, I display my perception of beauty and the journey to how I defined beauty within myself and the world around me. Art will continue to be one of my navigators through life and my many inner worlds.
