Arts Residency: Emily Evans

Arts Residency

Arts Residency

Hopkinton High School senior Emily Evans is a standout in both the art room and the larger HHS community, most notably as the recipient of the 2025 Visual Arts Department Award, president of the National Honor Society and co-president of the Diversity Club. According to visual arts teacher Kris Kellenberger, Evans is exploring how to depict complex emotions and physical sensations through visual media. “Playfully testing various material combinations until a solution resonates, Emily’s work is an anthropological study of finding humor in discomfort,” Kellenberger said.

The Arts Residency, sponsored by realtor Alan Connell, is a regular Hopkinton Independent feature. Every other week, Hopkinton Independent staff selects an individual to highlight following consultation with leaders in the local arts community.
