This is a page from Michelle Casper's sketchbook. Michelle graduated from Carson a few years ago and went to college in Greensboro for art. She created an imaginary world in her sketchbook complete with images and written descriptions. The second photo is a clay piece she worked on in college. You can see the connection between her early drawing and her imaginary creature.
