Merlyn Camp
I am a 16 year old art student from York. I've always liked art and the history of York. I was very happy that my design was chosen by Aviva for the Snook trail. I am also grateful for the opportunity to contribute to an art trail that the public can experience and that showcases the work of talented artists.
