This Westlake teen is about to become a shining star in the art world

News 5 Anchor Rob Powers had a chance to meet an artist in Northeast Ohio who's making a name for himself across the country. He's impressive for his raw talent and drive to keep learning and growing to the next level, no matter how much success he achieves. And he's achieved a lot, all before he's even old enough to vote.

"My mom tells me stories about when I was younger; I used to draw on the walls all the time and she would find stick figures just all across the wall," Alsabony said. "He was incredibly impressive, especially at his age," said Assistant Director and Gallery Manager Julie Polsinelli about the first time she saw Alsabony's work. That was at the 2023 Emerging Young Artist Exhibit, an exhibit his work was featured in again this year.

Sure, Alsabony has talent. He was born with it. His art teacher, Will Wilson, told Rob that Kenan is"one in a million." He is also passionate about the work, which makes him pretty lucky. But Wilson said there's another ingredient to this young artist's success.
