Artist spotlight

Maryama Ali is a sophomore at Sheyenne High School and is currently in her second year of art classes. She does both traditional sketches and digital pieces, as well as working with multiple media to explore her style in different ways.

As she explores art she continues to challenge herself and learn through each new piece. While working, she focuses on fully immersing herself in the atmosphere of whatever character she’s creating. Her art reflects her creativity.
