October 2025 Student of the Month • Kristopher M.

Our Student of the Month has been selected, and it is 12-year-old Kristopher M.! Kristopher is a long-time art student at Pastimes for a Lifetime and has completed our courses in Graphite, Oil Pastel, and Watercolor, and is now studying Acrylics with veteran art instructor Linda Wehrli. If you missed his first virtual gallery from March 2023, you can check it out here. And did we mention that Kristopher has been studying at Pastimes with Linda since he was 5 years old?! #Goals

As Student of the Month, Kristopher is awarded a Virtual Solo Art Showcase with a feature here on Pastimes’ blog. On display are Kristopher’s 23 exquisite new acrylic works. Captivating studies of florals by famous painters such as Georgia O’Keeffe, Simon Bull, Alexandre Minguet, and Walasse Ting have been mounted on virtual walls inside a chic warehouse-style gallery. He chose Nocturne Interlude by Laufey to accompany guests through the virtual walkthrough. Classy! We’ve revealed some of his stellar work below as an appetizer. You may find them and more exhibited on his Virtual Gallery.

Congratulations again to Kristopher on his second Student Solo Art Showcase!
