Olivia Nuttman, a senior, first started doing art in elementary school with art classes offered by the school. While this got her started, she became a lot more interested and serious about being consistent in the process of creating art later into middle school, where she worked to self-teach herself more techniques and signed up for extracurricular art programs and classes. Seven years of consistent practice have built up to the skill level that she is at now, which is illustrated by her piece, “Golden Knight,” created with a drawing app called Procreate. She spent only a little time on it compared to the amount of time other artists pour into their art, a brief three to six hours, while still masterfully creating a magnificent portrait of a female knight. Through her piece, she intended to portray courage, traits with which knights typically are associated, and she additionally decided to make the female knight represent a form of empowerment. Olivia, led by an innate desire to create art, has spent many years cultivating her skills, which enables her to create art with more profound messages like “Golden Knight,” through which she flawlessly symbolizes valor.
