These high school artists combine their innate talent with pure motivation.
York High School sophomore Trisha Rhea wants to use her artistic talent to help children in therapy. York senior Connor Hughes wants to go into graphic art, although his current work involves a sympathetic look at the common, working man. The work of these student artists, along with that of scores of other students from schools all over the area, is on display through Wednesday at the Frick Center at Elmhurst College. Works in acrylic, oils, watercolor, photography, drawing and mixed media are featured. Students at York had their work on display at the school for a week prior to the Elmhurst College exhibit. The work was judged by other students and professional artists, and those that received awards were chosen for display at the …
