Juan Mills' Artist Statement
My name is Juan Mills and I am a 14 year old freshman at West High School. I became passionate about art when I was 9 years old and began working with art teacher Shane Quella at Walbridge School. The Dream Big series experiment with line, color and movement. I love to draw faces and very detailed design using paint markers, pens, spray paint and acrylics. My high energy and fast-pace work means I create art quickly. I have dyslexia and learning disabilities which make reading and writing difficult. But it also helps me be creative and artistic. My inspiration comes from the art of Shane Quella, Stefan Matioc, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Pablo Picasso. Despite my struggles, I always dream big!
