Congratulations, Mikaelah Thomas!
Montini Catholic senior Mikaelah Thomas (Westchester) has been named Bronco Artist of the Month for December. She was nominated for the honor by Art teacher Stephanie Kuecker.
"Mikaelah has taken multiple art classes and has truly shown dedication to her craft," said Ms. Kuecker. "She takes her art very seriously, drawing her inspiration from street art. Her work is great and very personal to her - she has a truly unique style."
"I was very shocked to know that I had the opportunity to be recognized for my art work," said Mikaelah, who developed an interest in art during her art classes at Westchester Middle School. Her favorite medium is acrylics. "My favorite thing about being an artist is being able to create anything you want without rules and regulations. I started painting with my best friend and have loved it ever since."
Ms. Kuecker has enjoyed teaching Mikaelah over the past four years. Mikaelah has been very receptive to her teacher's artistic advice and suggestions. "It is very easy and fun because Ms. K lets you explore yourself in the way of art."
Mikaelah has pursued other interests as well as a very involved student at Montini. She is a member of the Lady Bronco Softball Team and the Montini Maniacs (Spirit Club). She also enjoys Baking Club and was selected to be a Peer Minister this year - helping to inspire and empower her fellow Broncos through service. She hopes to keep art in her future - with a goal of pursuing a business marketing degree in college next fall, she plans on painting in her free time and perhaps as a college elective.
"Mikaelah works hard - she really deserves this award," said Ms. Kuecker. "She is such a fun person and it has really been a pleasure to teach her. Congratulations, Mikaelah!"
