Laura’s subject matter for her art covers a wide range, but it includes some of her cloud nine worthy faves. Favorite parts of making art: painting, coloring, and “drawing on the window”. Favorite places to visit: the aquarium, art museums, and the doctor’s office. Favorite foods: cookies, pizza, and “waffles!” She also likes animals, especially…

A newer Make Studio artist, Will excels at collage-based compositions but also dabbles in other forms of art making. He likes to create anything that “presents a good final product”, often making something and then going back to it and making corrections.
