The 12th annual Tri-County High School Art Exhibition took place last month! Many Springfield students had artwork that was featured in the show. A few artists shared their process with The Chronicle:

I look for inspiration from my interests and within myself.

I hope to convey a bit of hope for people and also to hopefully spark curiosity within my viewers.

I look [to] the people that I care about and get a lot from that.

I’d say happiness and just kind of fun.

I think fibers like fabric [and] yarn. I find it’s really easier for me to work with. I like how it feels. I think it’s easier for me to express myself through those.

Mostly media I consume like music, musicals, [and] books. Just things in my life.

I hope to convey like little pieces of myself in every piece I make.
