Honoring talented young artists in Oregon’s Second District

Congratulations are in order to Emma Hughes, of John Day, for winning the 2013 Oregon Second Congressional District Art Competition. The nationwide competition is open each year to high school students across the country. Emma’s artwork (below), entitled Starry Eyed, will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year.

Congratulations also to the runners up, Hannah Pereira and Lindsey Weymouth of John Day and Sadie Heron of Redmond. Their artwork will hang in my offices in La Grande and Bend. The contest opens up each year in the spring, so if you or someone you know might be interested, be sure to keep an eye on my art competition page for more details.

That’s all for now. Have a great week.
