Watercolor painting titled "Nichols Perspective" by Jeanne Donovan of Pencil in the River Studio is based off an original photo taken by Alex Aubrecht '21.

The Aubrecht family had 10 prints made of the image and this is the only piece to be released outside the family.

The second trimester 7th grade Connections class created this quilt to show our love for Buffalo and all the reasons we love Buffalo.

This term in Connections the students explored patterns and codes, as well as how people have made and used quilts during history to send and tell messages and pass down stories.

This project was a team effort and the students learned a lot, seeing as none of them, teachers included, had made a quilt before.

Together they picked a theme for the quilt, picked a color scheme, sketched out squares and then used construction paper to model the actual fabric squares. Individually, students picked out fabric, did lots of sewing and cutting, and then together they planned the order of quilt.

Finally they attached the squares and finished by quilting the layers with batting and then binding the edges.

This original limited-edition framed 27 x 20 work of art is created by Nichols Middle School Visual Arts teacher, Kari Achatz. This work of art was created by hand cutting into vinyl and then screen printed using archival inks onto archival paper.

Achatz has artwork in the Albright Knox Art Gallery permanent fine art collection, as well as several other notable collections.

Creativity and humor have always been part of Patti Thomas' character. But the stasis of the pandemic coupled with encouragement from a friend pushed the artist to try her hand at painting, opening the floodgates to a new mode of creative output.

Her introduction to the art scene under the pseudonym The Ghost represents a journey of self-discovery separate from another part of her identity as the proud wife of Buffalo Bills Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas.
