December ArtStar honors Liu at Lawrence High School
Xin Liu, a Lawrence High School senior and December ArtStar, creates 3D jewelry and ceramics with silver enamel and curves inspired by plants and animals. She draws at home and on campus, often gifts works to friends, and has shown pieces at the Lawrence Arts Center and Lawrence Public Library. Liu balances art with school, sports, and clubs, aiming for a fulfilling career perhaps in science while continuing art as a lifelong pursuit.
