Julia Pellegrino is the artist of the month at Galena High School. The junior is photographed with her ceramic fish and her tarot card of an anglerfish. Pellegrino said that her inspirations for both pieces are, “my hobbies and interests.” She likes to create art with a variety of mediums such as watercolors, acrylic paints, or clay. She adds, “I like making art that includes my interest of nature, or what else I am interested in at the time.” She thinks art is important because it gives people a needed creative outlet to express themselves.
