Art adorning the halls of GCHS; one of the few works students will be able to see in person. Valerie Powell, an artist whose work will be featured in the show, feels the time away from school has changed her artistic process. “I'm more focused on my own life now and bringing my one experiences into my pieces, instead of previously, I just did art to try to get better.
