Artist Statement
My name is Elena Zippel and I am an 11th grader at Reagan High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I have lived in Milwaukee my entire life and I am often inspired by the artists I see around me, in the city. My interests include swimming, drawing, painting, and spending time with my family and friends. I am very inspired by how impressionist artists like Monet and Degas use color in their pieces. I believe that by expressing this different perspective on canvas allows others to see the world as a brighter, more colorful place.
