Drawing and painting teacher Janice Frame had reason to be proud of Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School senior Lonni Philips’ success last week at Featherstone Center for the Arts. Ms. Philips has, after all, been a student of Ms. Frame’s since kindergarten, when her work most likely consisted of finger paintings and play dough sculptures.
