Each month we spotlight a teen at CPL.
Tashauniel N.’s submission for the 2016-17 Teen Winter Challenge took our jury into a whimsical world of intriguing dimensions and lovely hues. Select jurors saw the political messages with quotes from Evita and were impressed by the layers and levels of these skillfully composed works. Not all of words were visible at first, so they added complexity to Tashauniel’s creations. We can't wait to see more works by this talented artist!
