Abigail Zheng

Whitehouse High School
Tyler, TX

Abigail is currently a senior attending Whitehouse High School. She is vividly imaginative and adores writing poetry, sketching, and recently, making videos. Her artistic outlook on the world lays the foundation for much of her work. She enjoys challenging herself through competitive academics and debate, which she’s competed at the state and national level for, and discovering new ways for self-expression through these activities.

Abigail is deeply passionate about storytelling and draws on the colorful life experiences of herself and those around her to inspire her art. In her junior year, she was a national finalist in the Business Professionals of America Promotional Photography competition for a photo she submitted celebrating Chinese New Year. Her NSHSS-winning video revolves around the beauty of daily Chinese-American life. This cultural upbringing informs many of her creations and empowers her to create a welcoming community wherever she goes.

She became interested in photography and video production in eleventh grade, and her passion for both has increased exponentially ever since. She hopes to spread this endless love for creating with people across the world and inspire them with the many stories she has to tell.
