Troy High School’s annual art show last week highlighted the talents of the many artists who have been crafting their work for several years.
Seniors Christina Hammer and Bella O’Day showcased four years of work in the high school gym.
Hammer, who is her graduating class’s Valedictorian, is seeking to develop a career in art. She enjoys political cartoons and will begin her schooling at Flathead Valley Community College.
O’Day’s paintings, including portraits, self-portraits and a wide variety of various subjects, showed her progression as an artist over the years.
Milo Rogers’ carpentry class also sold two 8-foot by 10-foot sheds via silent auction.
Art aficionados were also able to bid or buy pottery, forged metals, and carpentry projects.
Junior high students also displayed an impressive array of creations.
