I took every art class I could squeeze into my schedule during my years at KHS. If my memory, serves me correctly, most of the murals were in the cafeteria area at that time. I can still remember them all distinctly. During my senior year, my art teacher Mr. Art Johnson told me they wanted to do a “Mariner” themed painting near the entrance by the school office. He said he was in charge of picking a student to paint the mural and I was very surprised when he asked me to do it. I fondly remember sketching and painting the picture with Mr. Johnsons help. He may have used his eraser a few times as we collaborated on the project. I am still very honored to have been chosen.
I always see myself retiring with an art room and an easel set up in my home; preferably oceanside… but we’ll see about that. For now I always hang on to a sketch pad and charcoals, my favorite medium. Many thanks to my art teachers, Silver Bay community art classes and my family who still think I am very artistic. And to my classmate Kathy Wilson who purchased one of my oil paintings during our school year. Still my only sale. - Lisa (Christensen) Tormondsen, November, 2018
