My name is Halley! I’m 15, have 2 siblings I barley see and I always stay inside because nobody wants to hang out with me. I’m always by myself so I use my free time to paint, practice my handwriting, play games or listen to music.
My art piece is special to me because of the mountains in the back it reminds me of snowboarding with my dad for the first time. And the stars remind me of my big sister because she would always tell me to look for the Big Dipper when we were younger. And the tipi reminds me of crow fair when I use to run around all day with my cousins and it also reminds me of Native American week at school when we’d have to do tipi racing that’s where I met my all best friends.
