Caity James Reflections

Age 17

16-18 year olds

I painted my reflection in a window, using a style and medium unlike my usual approach. Being in my final year of high school, along with the pressures of finding my place as an artist and as a person, it seems fitting to reflect upon myself as I am now. I am quite happy with this work, something I don’t say much. Despite being about to embark on great change in my life, it’s exciting that I can find joy in representing who I am through something I love.
