Student Artist of the Month at Gallery 510

Gallery 510 Art & Framing will be featuring one student from a Central Illinois high school each month along with the professional featured artist at the gallery. Before the gallery artist begins to talk about their work at each First Friday Gallery Walk, we will introduce the “Student of the Month” and show their piece of artwork that will remain on display throughout the month.

Hazel Ellenberg is a Junior at Bement High School. She has been creating art and practicing her craft since she was six years old. Hazel is very involved in many student organizations and clubs. She has been a member of the Art Club since her freshman year. She is also a member of the Student Council.

Hazel has won numerous awards during the Love for the Arts conference at EIU and at the Arts in Education High School show sponsored and presented by Gallery 510.

Hazel’s favorite genre is painting. She began oil painting this year.  She also enjoys sewing, music, and fashion design, as well as many other forms of art. Hazel hopes to pursue a career in the arts after her senior year.

See Hazel’s artwork on display at Gallery 510 in May, then her work will be on display at the Children’s Museum of Illinois in June.
