Spotlight on Rebecca Doyle, 12th grade
Nature Coast Technical High School, Brooksville

 

Rebecca on Rebecca ...

Hi. My name is Rebecca Doyle. I'm 17 years old and a senior at Nature Coast Technical High School in Brooksville, Florida. I always have a sketchbook attached to my hip because I never know when I will be inspired to sketch! I've become a much better artist thanks to the help of Mr. Barlow at Nature Coast, my private instructor Mary Petriconne, and of course, a lot of trial and error. I like to draw animals, but I also do murals and design work. I'm looking forward to improving my skills as I head off to college, develop new interests and learn new techniques with which to express myself.
