The Marti Mulford Youth Art Exhibit was named after Marti Mulford, a local ceramist, for her legacy of art and nurturing the creativity of youth.
“Creativity, the conjoining of self-expression, the use of intellect, and media of some sort, provides meaning and satisfaction to me in most of my pursuits….I have a firm philosophy and belief in the benefits of an education in the humanities, the study of cultures—ancient and modern—and the arts.” —Marti Mulford

She has matured into a strong, hardworking artist, and she has found ways to use her art to express herself in positive and productive ways. Her years of discipline and consistency towards honing her craft has earned her the title of Youth Artist of the Year.
Melissa has always had a love for art and crafting. She has been timid to showcase her artwork, but has gained confidence and shows it proudly.
