Senior, Meeker High School.
Elijah received a Gold Key and two Honorable Mention awards for his ceramic work. You can find his teapot “Rooted” on exhibition at the 40 West Gallery Exhibition. His other two pieces will be digitally displayed both at 40 West Gallery and the Denver Art Museum.

He is planning on studying Mechanical Engineering at Western Colorado University in Gunnison.
Congratulations to Elijah on the recognition of your artistic talent!
