Hello, my name is Norah Palomaki . I am a student artist at Vicksburg High School. Outside of being creative and doing my little art projects, I enjoy hiking, skiing, camping, swimming, and all things outside. Outdoor adventures have inspired my concentration this year. People leave a trace behind everywhere you go now, whether it's litter in the forest or water that is unsafe to swim in. You can't seem to fully get away from the effect people have on our environment. I chose to use giant hands in all my pieces to show the significance and impact people have on the world around them. I hope when people see my body of work; they might

recycle that water bottle they would have usually just thrown away and come away just a little more green.
