Spotlight on Kelly Burke, 12th grade
Ridgewood High School, New Port Richey
Kelly on Kelly ...
Hi, my name is Kelly Burke. I am 17 years old and will be graduating from Ridgewood High School this month. Art has always been my forte; I cannot remember a time when drawing and painting were not a part of my life. During my high school career, I never went a year without an art class, and with the guidance of my art teacher, Ms. Wells, I was able to create a solid portfolio. I have always aspired to have a career in the visual arts and will be heading off to Ringling College of Art and Design in the fall to major in illustration.
