December Visual Art Student of the Month: Kaden MulkeyKaden Mulkey is a honor student at Anthony Wayne High School who lives in Neapolis. When reflecting on his enthusiasm about visual arts, Kaden states, “Art is my outlet. I may not have the raw talent to draw something with a pencil but with my love for technology and my explosive creative mindset, something unique is created. Art has always helped me show what I call "The Design of My Mind." In art everything is never the same, and that's what I love about it because that’s the most accurate depiction of my life. Art is just a way for me to project these ambient and chaotic visions to the world, and I love to see what I can continue to do with it.”
Kaden currently teaches tumbling and gymnastics and loves it. His plans for the future are to either attend UT or Owens for Athletic Science. He hopes to coach full time and pursue music and art on the side. He is the son of Michelle Mulkey-Parker and Dennis Mulkey II.
