4A Artists of the Month – Charlize L

This student is taking Jewelry I this year and took Drawing last year. Her talents go well beyond the walls of Bonita. Outside of school, she creates beautiful jewelry to sell. She sells her jewelry at popup flea markets and has made good money doing so. In fact, she is now getting requests for custom pieces, in addition to the pieces for sale at the flea markets. Each piece starts with a sketch of the design and then she gets to work on making the item. Her next pop-up will be in Long Beach in February. Soon she wishes to include her hand made crochet merchandise as well. She is extremely talented and taking both art and jewelry at Bonita has helped her to grow in her skills, creativity, and confidence. She does an incredible job and looks forward to growing her business after high school while continuing her education. It is a great pleasure to recommend Charlize for this.
