Art Competition Winner

Congratulations to our 2022 District Art Competition Winner - Modesta Wellborn from Trinity School of Midland. Her watercolor painting "Traverse the Plains" depicts a peaceful longhorn along a fence line - a symbol of our great state!

All of the entries were exceptionally creative, with many of the pieces highlighting the beauty and abundant natural resources of our great state. I hope this competition inspires all the entrants to continue pursuing their artistic talents, and I look forward to seeing Modesta’s painting hang in the U.S. Capitol to represent our great district.

Congratulations Modesta, and thank you to all of our wonderful participants! 

Second Place was awarded to Anastasiya Guajardo from Grape Creek High School for her piece titled “You Make Texas.” Emily McWilliams from Trinity School of Midland won Third Place for her mixed media painting titled “Energy in Action.” Honorable Mentions were awarded to Betsy Hammer from Trinity School of Midland for her painting titled “Texas Provides,” and Avary Blanco of Grape Creek High School for her painting called “Typical Texan.”
