Helen Lee, a junior at University High School in Irvine. She has been taking private art classes since the age of 12 and has entered various local art competitions over the years. Although, art is currently only a hobby, for Helen, it plays a great role in her life. Helen decided to paint "A Day in the Sea" during the summertime while she was looking through a book. When she saw a picture of two fishermen, she chose to paint a similar scene while trying to capture the movement and clarity of the waves and the water in the ocean.
