My name is Drew Bellah and I am currently a Senior at the Academy for the Arts, Science, and Technology in Horry County, South Carolina. Most of my projects tend to be 3-dimensional, namely puppets and scraptures (sculptures, props, etc made from upcycled materials). I first began making these types of creations in the 5th grade when a puppeteer came to my school and demonstrated different types of puppets. When I got home that day, I started creating a puppet out of cardboard and duct tape. When I liked the outcome, I decided to make this my preferred style . I seek to use my work as a way to simply spread fun and enjoyment to others in entertaining ways. One of my scraptures won Best in Show (2022) and another won 1st place (2023) at the South Carolina State Fair. I also had the privilege of winning the Peoples' Choice award in the 2023 Horry County Art Museum student art juried show and being featured in the ArtFields student art show in 2023.
