A Deeper Look Into an MBHS Student: Sarah Guthrie Montes 

Sarah Guthrie Montes can be reserved at first, but once you get to know her she is just a  normal freshman at Morro Bay High School. Her plan after high school is to go to Otis College of Art and Design, where she plans to pursue art as a fine arts major.

Sarah discovered art at a young age when her mother showed her art documentaries. Her favorite artist is Vincent van Gogh. She enjoys going to museums and seeing all of the beautiful artwork. Music is another form of art that she deeply loves. Her favorite music artists are TV Girl, Beabadoobee, Childish Gambino, and Kali Uchis. Sarah has a deep passion for music and the arts. It’s incredible how much joy and inspiration she finds in creative expression.

Her biggest pet peeve is when someone chews with their mouth open, she finds it the most annoying thing to her which is very understandable. Chewing with your mouth open is gross. She says, “It's gross when someone does that, it makes me uncomfortable and irritates me so much, I don't understand why people do that, it's so rude and annoying.”

Sarah enjoys each season of the year, but her favorites would have to be fall and winter. When fall comes around you get to see how Sarah’s art reflects the seasons changing. She gets excited because she experiences it through art. The artwork becomes more vivid with colors such as dark reds, yellows, and orange. Not only does she experience fall through her art, but through baking, music, nature, and social interactions. To kick off the season of fall Sarah listens to Blue Rondo a La Turk by Dave Burbeck. “Music can help us from not stressing out as much and can make us much happier and energetic during these stressful seasons,” she commented.
