National Art Honors Society selected Michelle Matthews as their artist to feature for this issue. Matthews says, “I make art because I get inspired by family, friends, and emotions. I use art as a way to express my emotions and feelings, and I enjoy making art because I love seeing my creations come to life as well as seeing people’s reactions to it.”
