Our Featured Artist

---

 To launch this series, we’re proud to present Reese, our first Featured Artist. Her creativity and dedication reflect exactly what this program is designed to celebrate.

 Reese is an emerging visual artist whose portfolio spans detailed architectural renderings, character art, expressive portraits, and rich landscapes. Working primarily in painting and drawing, she blends realism with imagination, experimenting with style and subject matter to continually push her craft forward.

Her talent has already been recognized locally; she was selected as a Superintendent’s Choice Artist in her junior year and has had work displayed at the Rush-Henrietta Public Library in Western New York. Online, she shares her process and finished works with a growing audience on TikTok, where her feed showcases everything from fine detail sketches to vibrant, large-scale pieces.

Reese’s art invites viewers into worlds both familiar and fantastical — always rooted in curiosity, dedication, and a clear passion for creating.
