Among the young artists with featured displays last night at Le Roy High School's Fine Arts Night was Austin Hampton.
Austin is a senior and plans to pursue a career in art, with a focus on fine art and perhaps becoming an art teacher.
He said he always loved art but the teachers at Le Roy helped that love bloom into a passion.
"They're great teachers," Austin said. "They always help me with hands-on activities. Their techniques help me with mine, as well."
He said when he's not at school, at home, his focus is art. He spends at least five hours a day of his own time on art.
"I’m always making art, doing something," Austin said. "I always have to have a pen in my hand."
