Artist Sarah Bruns: “I am a senior at Carmel High School. I enjoy creating art because I like the fact that I can create things that people will enjoy looking at. I have not real preference to media, but I’m best at jewelry and drawing.”
Sarah will be attending Indiana University at Bloomington in the fall. While there she plans to major in Pre-Med with a minor in Art. This is not the first time that Sarah has had her art on exhibit in the World’s Smallest Children’s Art Gallery.
While she was in elementary school at Mohawk Trails Sarah’s art was chosen for the school’s exhibit. Today Sarah is a very busy senior at Carmel High School. In addition to her Art classes, she is a hurdler for the Carmel High School Track team.
The Carmel Arts Council is very pleased that Sarah wanted to display her Art in our gallery for the month of March. She is a member of the Carmel Arts Council’s High School Division.
