Chelsey Tyler

USA, age 17

Chelsey says: "I created this picture with oil pastels on a simple sheet of paper. I remembered all that I had ever learned of Venus, and simply wanted to personify what it would be like to be on the turbulent world. I really enjoyed making this piece of art, working with the dark and bright colors together to achieve a mood."
