Scenic Art and Painting

These are collections of artwork created for various projects in the theatre and other events. These samples show a range of textures and techniques used by Mikayla Blanchard in her work from imitation stonework to landscapes. Blanchard has also volunteered with local schools on a variety of projects to teach students about scenic art while assisting with their productions.
