Each month we spotlight a teen at CPL.
Nancy C. likes to create art based on inspiration from movies and books, but also real life. For instance, when her principal was diagnosed with cancer, she reflected a lot about the illness, wondering what it would be like for a child or a teen to be sick with cancer. She explored spatial scenes successfully, imagining the relationships and interactions the ill have with objects, others and themselves.
