Dallas Hunewill, a Winnemucca-born and raised senior who loves art. Hunewill grew up with her artist mother, who influenced her to get involved in art.
Hunewill has enjoyed art since kindergarten finger painting and has been in an art class for the last six years.
Hunewill’s current art teacher, Ms. Julia Topholm, expressed her thoughts on Dallas’s improvements through the years.
“Growth every year and her creativity never ceases to amaze me and is well-rounded with her work,” said Topholm.
As a graduating senior, Dallas’s favorite part of art class which was getting dirty, which the senior class did when they painted the W. This was one of Hunewill’s favorite memories.
“Painting the W was my favorite because surrounded my friends and best friend and her covered in paint,” said Hunewill.
This ties right in with what she believes to be the saddest part about graduating.
“Not being around people I’ve been around my entire life and leaving but having the great memories,” said Hunewill.
Dallas’s favorite medium to use in art is watercolors.
“She is a big beast with watercolors and it’s her best medium and it’s not easy but she has learned to work with it very very well,” said Topholm.
Topholm spoke of her favorite memory of Hunewill.
“At the Art Club party this year, a few decided to come in onesies and she sported her Grinch onesie like it was high fashion and I probably remember her sense of humor,” said Topholm.
Dallas hopes to move to Reno after graduation and attend TMCC, then transfer to UNR where she will take a French class.
Dallas Hunewill has drawn many cartoons for The Brand, so a big thank you from The Brand and good luck.
