Posted by IGDVS Staff

Class of 2026, Senior Spotlight

We are proud to celebrate William for his remarkable creativity, leadership, and passion for using art to make a difference in the community.

William will be continuing his academic and artistic journey at the highly selective Rhode Island School of Design / Brown University dual-degree program, an honor awarded to only a small group of students each year.

An exceptionally versatile artist, William works across a wide range of mediums including painting, watercolor, charcoal, digital design, and mixed media. In addition to developing his own artistic voice, he has dedicated time to teaching painting workshops at the Ukiah library, encouraging others to experience the joy, creativity, and sense of connection that art can provide.

We are incredibly proud of William’s accomplishments and excited to see where his talent will lead him next.

Congratulations, William!
