Every once in a while, a young artist comes along whose talent and unique point of view seem way beyond her years. Wislianie Valdez is such an artist.
Currently a senior at Marlboro High School, Wislianie admits that when she was younger, she often got in trouble at school because all she ever did was draw. At home, it was the same story. “My mom always got angry at me because I wasn’t doing homework, I was drawing,” she said recently. “I would hide under the table and draw.”
