The selected works represent a wide range of artistic styles and mediums, reflecting the creativity and individuality of each student artist. From ceramics to charcoal, metalwork to digital design, the group showcases the depth and diversity of artistic expression cultivated at Chagrin Falls High School.
Katherine Rosner, grade 11, was recognized for Imperial Teapot, a detailed stoneware piece featuring intricate sculptural elements and glaze work.
Owen Stull, grade 12, received Top 25 honors for Sahlo Folina, a vibrant and imaginative digital illustration transferred onto a wooden skateboard deck using acrylic techniques.
Caleb Zelch, grade 12, was selected for Phycodurus eques, a complex mixed-media metalwork piece incorporating brass, acid etching, patina, and opal.
Ari Zimmerman, grade 12, earned recognition for Silas: The Emergence of Hope, a striking white charcoal portrait on black paper that captures both technical skill and emotional depth.
Together, these works highlight not only technical skill, but also the willingness of students to explore a variety of materials and creative processes.
For Owen Stull, being named to the Top 25 is both an honor and a reflection of his artistic growth over time. After earning acceptance into the 2025 Ohio Governor’s Art Show, this year’s recognition highlights his continued development and creativity.
