Ilaina Yavrom is this week's Artist of the Week! She is an 11th grade student in Ms. McDonald's Advanced Painting & Drawing class. Her painting, "Mermaid Marina," will be entered into the Kingsley Inspirations Art Show at the Crocker Art Museum this month.

This is what Ilaina had to say about her painting:

"This is an inspired painting from E.C. Fortune. I took the original painting's title and expanded it. The title of the original painting is "Pirates Cove," so I turned it into an actual cove with a pirate ship in the corner and a scared mermaid running away. This comes from my love of Peter Pan.
