JUNE ARTISTS OF THE MONTH - Wheatley Children

By Sona Schmidt-Harris | s.schmidtharris@mycityjournals.com  

The Wheatley children love art. All four daughters take after their mother, Camille Wheatley, a former Holladay Artist of the Month. Sofi, 12, Wren, 9, Avi, 7 and Violet, 5, all show artistic promise at a young age.  

Sofi likes to draw and paint people and animals, while Avi likes to draw and paint flowers and houses. “Any flowers,” she emphasized. Violet likes to draw and paint cows. “They’re my favorite animal,” she explained. Wren enjoys papercutting and working with clay.  

Wren and Sofi use their talents to host a YouTube channel, “Sissy Doodles” where they teach other children how to draw. In episode 15, they teach other children how to draw a platypus with a balloon.
